Panera Bread’s bacon mac n’ cheese had me at the very first bite with its savory and warm taste, the crunch of the bacon just perfect, and with enough cheese drizzled all over each of the macaroni pieces to send anyone into a cheese frenzy.
When I first arrived at Panera Bread, I wasn’t sure what to think. There were a lot of sandwiches, soups, and other types of food that didn’t really catch my eye. But then, I saw it: the bacon mac n’ cheese.
The food was ready within 10 minutes, and the finest service was offered to me by the workers at this restaurant. Even though I was in my little hometown, each and every person who worked there gave me 100% of their attention.
When this meal first arrived at my table, it was perfectly warmed, with a little bit of steam escaping out into the air from the cup. The cheese was poured over the food in a way that showed how much the Panera Bread workers cared about giving each macaroni piece the same delectable and gooey taste as the last.
The bacon was sprinkled over the top of the dish, with about 25-30 pieces in total. It was the perfect amount of bacon; it didn’t overwhelm me, yet there was just enough to be mixed effectively throughout the dish.
When I first started eating this, I wasn’t sure if the amount of cheese would be too much. That being said, the bacon bits were in the dish to balance out the cheese, which made this meal something straight out of a fairytale.
After I had this absolutely wonderful experience for the first time, I couldn’t stop coming back. Panera Bread’s bacon mac n’ cheese is now a staple in my diet, and I absolutely recommend that you try this meal at least once in your life.
Of course, some may not like the fact that this dish is 1050 calories. Another aspect of this meal that some may not love is cheese. Cheese is not everyone’s general pick in a meal, and to be honest, it normally is not mine either.
That being said, the meal’s contrast of flavors due to its mix of soft macaroni pieces with bacon bits is so good that it is entirely worth brushing away any doubts about it to try it at least once. The beauty of the meal is evident even from the pictures shown on the menu, which is what initially convinced me to try it.
I highly recommend you try the bacon mac n’ cheese at Panera Bread at least once in your life, but be careful: after trying this meal once, it is almost impossible not to have it again.
