My Panera Rant

I'm in New York (on Long Island) and don't really want to explore new restaurants by myself. Plus, it's freezing here! Well, it's in the 50's, but compared to the weather in Texas, I'm surprised I'm not a popsicle! It's not surprising, given these two facts, that I wanted some stinking French Onion soup in a bread bowl from Panera Bread. I got it to go, took it back to my hotel room (more on that in another post) and discovered they gave me broccoli cheddar instead. Now, I can eat the broccoli cheddar, but I really, really wanted the French Onion. So what did I do? That's right, I went again the next night. When I placed my order they informed me, "We're out of bread bowls." Are you kidding me?! I sucked it up and made them give me extra bread so I could just have it with my soup. And I just got pizza tonight. Finally, after 7 years, I had a slice of yummy NY pizza again! Let's face it though, I'm probably going back to Panera again tomorrow...

What do you do when you're out of town on business and you're eating alone again? I'm running out of ideas and I can only have so much Panera Bread.
