I'm always surprised when people ooh and ahh over any kind of mac and cheese that's basically a cheese sauce poured onto pasta. I don't care how good the sause is, mac and cheese isn't worth getting excited about (or paying more for than a box of Kraft costs) unless it's made with a custard or a white sauce (and lots of cheese) and baked.

Cool.
I wish more businesses were VOLUNTARILY socially conscious, rather than the government forcing it the people.

Darn you! Darn you all to heck! 6 pages of nothing but FOOD?????
I'm now starving, and the soup I had for lunch is NOT going to hold me over until dinner!!!!! Plus, I heart Panera (1/2 turkey artichoke, bowl of french onion with baguette and shortbread cookie, thank you very much).

The title of the thread has "breadbowls" in it. What did you think was going on in here? LOL
I guess I should mention the soup and 2 slices of pizza I'm having?

I thought it might have had something to do with smoking pot out of bread, and then eating the bread.

Interestingly enough, I know someone who has managed to do that. I'm not entirely sure how, but I watched it happen before I realized what was going on. At an outdoor concert, in the rain. I give them props for resourcefulness.

Lucy- if Panera sees a sudden upswing in bread bowl sales, it's all you. On his way home from work, my husband stopped at Panera & is getting me a bread bowl! I haven't had one for probably 5+ years.

As someone who went to UC Santa Cruz, I've heard/seen lots of stories related to this. I think someone told me about smoking out of a lemon...and another story about an apple, pretty sure.

I admit it - I've never had a bread bowl. I could see how fattening they would have to be from the start, and realized that, if I never tried one, I wouldn't miss it.
But my macaroni & cheese has to be liked MysticCat's, or it's not worth it.

My thoughts on the mac n cheese is that there should be different names for the creamy kind and the baked kind. They just don't even compare to each other.
Example: One time, when I was little, we had a babysitter who was a senior in HS going into culinary school the next year. She made us velveeta shells for dinner and I remember saying to her that I had no idea how she was going to be a chef if she couldnt even make good mac n cheese.
I was raised on good baked mac n cheese from scratch. It is my favorite. I do enjoy the panera mac & cheese though as well as Wegman's mac n cheese. They are both delicious.

I must take back what I said. Where we had Thanksgiving dinner yesterday had mac and cheese that was pasta in a cheese sauce, but it was a blue cheese sauce. Out of this world amazing -- definitely worth getting excited about.
