Side note….those Panera bread bowls are tough. I use to have a friend who would give us the throw out ones at the end of her shift and we’d play football with them. Tough bread that Panera stuff.
We don't have these Panera Bread restaurants up here in the hills, but I think they have them down in the central valley.
Once I got the point in the thread where people were talking about using the Panera bread bowls to play football I had figured out that these places are probably like the Montana chain of Staggering OX restaurants which are all over the state.
That staggering OX bit is because they call their bread bowls OX Hooves. What they do with them sounds about the same.
