Eater Bowl Bowl Bracket: Panda Express vs. Panera Bread | Eater
"The chain’s signature Guacamole Greens bowl—chicken, avocado, and tortilla chips atop mixed greens—epitomizes the modern bowl-lunch: unexpectedly satisfying with a good balance of texture and acid and wrapped in a health-halo that makes it the archetypal bougie desk meal. Beyond the specific flavors, the venue is credited as the pioneer that popularized the fast-casual salad-as-bowl format and the cultural idea of the bowl as an office-friendly, customizable lunch option." - Erin DeJesus
