I know what you're thinking, there are a thousands of sandwiches at hundreds of restaurants in and around Syracuse and you're reviewing Panera Bread for the third time. Before you begin to riot and aren't able to read my blog, because in a fit of rage threw your monitor across the room, just read the rest of this, you'll be glad you did. After meeting with the priest to finalize some of the details for the wedding, we were hungry because for the second week in a row we didn't give ourselves time to eat at home before going out. On our way to the grocery store I spotted Panera and knew immediately that I wanted to have one of their bagels since I've never had one before. Strange, I know, how have I eaten there so many times and never had a bagel? We walked in and Christine points out that the Asiago bagel has been used to make a breakfast sandwich. It almost felt like fate had brought me here and that I had the opportunity to be part of something great. We both ordered the sandwich and a large cinnamon roll to split. What was to come was a great moment in my sandwich consumption.
The sandwich consists of a fried egg, applewood smoked bacon, and vermont white cheddar on their signature asiago cheese bagel. As you can see the cheese is melted over the top of the bagel. If you've never had asiago cheese, stop what you're doing and go buy some. Upon first bite I was in sandwich heaven. The combination of flavors is almost undescribable but I can say that they melded together so perfectly that this was the greatest breakfast sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I wasn't expecting to be so blown away because of my recent trips. I think that because I wasn't expecting anything great that it made it just that much more amazing. At a whopping 610 calories, 27 grams of fat, and 1240 mg of sodium, I won't be eating these every weekend but once every few months could be a definite possibility.
Rating: Delicious - A first for this blog. I want another one right now.
