My Favorite Restaurant

         My favorite restaurant is Panera Bread. Its is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Panera is a chain restaurant. There are many different locations throughout the country. Panera serves many different foods from salads to pasta. They also serve fresh bread and bagels and pastries. Panera is not a restaurant where you are waited on but you can sit down and eat inside. It has a calm atmosphere so some people go there to study and do work related things.They also cater.
         My favorite thing to eat at Panera is their mac and cheese. I get it with bread on the side and an iced green tea. The mac and cheese is made with shell pasta and Vermont white cheddar cheese. It is really good. You can get the mac in cheese in a regular bowl or a bread bowl. You can also get chips or fruit on the side instead of bread. The green tea has some lemonade in it to make it a little bit sweeter. You can get it sweetened or unsweetened.
         Panera is my favorite restaurant because the food is amazing. I love to go with my friends to have lunch. We usually go on a half day of school to get lunch. It is usually really busy around lunch time so sometimes we have to get it to go and we eat at home. If Panera closed I would probably lay in bed and cry forever because I love it so much.

Do Now 3/24/14

I purchase or join something if it looks interesting or colorful. Also if it is not too expensive or if it is free I would most likely try it out. There would also have to be good quality.
