4 stories above the food court spins one of the largest (wooden) fans I have ever seen.
It’s even equipped with pitch control to vary the thrust.
Panera Breakfast Sandwiches
Having heard the radio spots for a while now and getting a little tired of the Starbucks Breakfast offerings, I ventured to Panera to see if they could do the breakfast sandwich any better.
I ordered up the Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich as well as a cup of coffee*. This sandwich has Vermont white cheddar and Applewood-smoked bacon and is served on a toasted Ciabatta roll.
After a grunt from the line cook after saying ‘good morning’ my number was called & I dug in. WOW, this sandwich has some FLAVOR! Something majorly lacking in the Starbucks sandwiches. The cheddar pairs nicely with the salty bacon & freshly cooked egg.
This is definately one of my new favorites & I plan on stopping by again soon for another one!
*Panera’s coffee can’t hold a flame to Starbucks but there’s usually a Starbucks in the same area as a Panera so you can have the best of both worlds!
Onion-Braised Beef Brisket
Made this a few weeks ago & the family is still talking about it! We ended up with a slightly more tender product than I expected but it tasted great nonetheless. Mashed potatoes were the starch of choice the first time around but the egg noodles sounded great too!
This recipe requires a few hours of unattended cooking. It also requires advance preparation. After cooking, the brisket must stand overnight in the braising liquid that later becomes the sauce; this helps to keep the brisket moist and flavorful. Defatting the sauce is essential. If the fat has congealed into a layer on top of the sauce, it can be easily removed while cold. Continue reading “Onion-Braised Beef Brisket”

Goetta = Cincinnati Caviar?
As mentioned in Man Fights back episode #7 I had the pleasure of eating Goetta the other morning for breakfast. it’s not exactly something I would eat all the time but it could have been worse!
New Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches
As a frequent traveler I’m often in search of a quick breakfast before starting the work day. Although I’ll almost always pick a local brew-house over a chain, Starbucks has come to my rescue on more than one occasion. The only thing truly missing from Starbucks was a decent breakfast sandwich.
The company’s first attempt, in my opinion, fell flat. Although all the right components were there (bacon/sausage, egg, cheese) the flavors were bland and pretty unappealing.
Starbucks has made an attempt to better their breakfast lineup by “upgrading” their breakfast sandwich offerings to now include:
•Artisan Bacon Sandwich, a flavorful bakery-style sandwich made with a parmesan egg frittata, four smoked bacon slices, and Gouda cheese on a perfectly-baked hand-shaped artisan roll
•Artisan Ham Sandwich, a delightful combination featuring a parmesan egg frittata, three slices of Black Forest ham, and mild cheddar on a perfectly-baked hand-shaped artisan roll
After trying both of these (on different days (ha)) I can honestly say it’s a step in the right direction! Both sandwiches are a lot more flavorful that the origional version and they are served nice and hot right out of the microwave/convection contraption.
Now if only Starbucks would stop closing the stores near my client sites!
