Panera or ABC?

[SthrnZeta]

Yes but Quiznos serves subs, whereas Panera and ABC don't. They're different types of food IMO. That would be the Quiznos vs Subway vs Firehouse Subs thread...

I always get the 2 Sammies meal when I go to Quiznos. I like Quiznos better than Subway. I've never heard of Firehouse...we don't have any around here.

ETA: We don't have Jason's Deli either.

Ummm, I don't know what your Panera serves. But, ours serves sandwiches and soups and salads. Quiznos serves sandwiches and soups and salads. So, how can you say they serve totally different types of food? The both serve two pieces of bread holding something in the middle. They both serve soup and some sort of salad. Panera offers a few more things like bagels and breads. But, they are the same type of food.

I've already I can't compare it to ABC because I have never been. RIF.

Call them subs or sandwiches on artisan bread, the Paneras here are just haughty-taughty sandwich shops. So, don't tell me it's not a good comparison.

Whoa, sister, slow your roll. First of all, I never said "totally" different, just different. A toasted sub is different than a panini. You're correct that they both serve sandwiches, soups, salads. BUT, I don't go to Quiznos when I feel like a caesar salad, I go to ABC. When I want a toasted turkey sub, I don't go to Panera, I go to Quiznos or Firehouse. They are different restaurants, like it or lump it. Similar, but not the same. AND, the thread wasn't about Quiznos. It was a Panera vs ABC thread since these two are almost idential in menu choices - AND they offer coffees and pastries and the like. Quiznos, Subway, etc do not. Yet another difference you failed to mention. And I will tell you, it's not a good comparison for the reasons I just stated. Agree to disagree...
