Panera's Secret Healthier Menu
It’s no, well, secret that restaurants will often have an unlisted menu. In-N-Out Burger has had one for years. Now Panera has joined in. While it’s not listed in stores, Panera has been promoting it via social media. You’ll have to ask an employee to see it; employees will either pull out the secret menu card or scan a code that’ll put the menu on a customer’s mobile device. But only if you ask. You can also check it out online here at Panera’s website. If you’re cutting carbs,avoiding gluten or managing diabetes, you’ll want to take a look at the new “secret” items. The new menu includes two power breakfast egg bowls, two salads, a chicken hummus bowl, and a steak lettuce wrap. Scott Davis, who oversees menus for Panera Bread, explains, “This is probably the most extreme anti-kind of Panera diet you can have, right? It doesn’t include bread and flour and that sort of stuff.” This menu is a way for Panera to appeal to the growing population of health conscious diners.
