Eater Bowl Bowl Bracket: Cava vs. Panda Express | Eater

"A Mediterranean-inspired bowl chain celebrated by staff voters as the winner for being healthful, flexible and generous: reviewers praised its braised lamb, abundant toppings like cucumber, tomato and mint, and the inclusion of tzatziki. It’s valued for strong vegetarian and healthy options, the ability to choose multiple dips/spreads, many toppings and dressings at no extra cost, and generally tasty mix-and-match combinations. At the same time it was described as messy and over-abundant—'goop-y' in a positive sense for some, yet for others its excess of choices can produce unsettling ennui or odd flavor overloads—still, many considered it the quintessential modern bowl." - Madeleine Davies
