Junk food delivered in 30 minutes or fresh baked goodness at a semi-sit-down place?

So which do you think, overall, is a better place to eat?

Take into consideration:

Value
Taste
Atmohsphere
Service

and anything else that would make a place a more desirable eating destination.

Wow ... I would prefer neither of the above. But Panera gets the nod thanks to their bagels.

Yessir. Those bagels are just downright amazing for a chain restaurant.

I can't stand Panera. There's just something about it that bugs the crap of me. I'm not a huge fan of the food, but there's just something about the store that just makes me really dislike it.

I've eaten way too much Domino's over the past year because of football practice.

I'm still going with Domino's, although both of these will lose next round.

I hate Domino's. Panera's broccoli-chedder soup is the real deal. Easy choice for me.

i like both...but Panera is way overpriced for the food you get in my opinion which is why I gave Dominos the nod

The only thing good at Panera's... the blueberry muffins. But that's not enough to overtake Domino's.

How is Domino's even in this thing? Who made that call? These are both horrible choices.

QFT. Real men don't eat Panera. Soup is not a meal.

Panera has super breakfast sandwiches. And soup in a breadbowl! Don't make me quote Steinbrenner!

"Nope. I find something I like, I stick with it. From 1973 to 1982 I ate the exact same lunch every day: turkey chili in a bowl made out of bread. Bread bowl, George. You'd eat the chili, then you'd eat the bowl. Nothing more satisfying than looking down after lunch and just seeing a table."

The fact that you are quoting Stienbrenner automatically makes it an invalid argument.

Panera isn't my favorite but Domino's has never been that good and has been downright horrible the last 3 times I ordered it. I've pretty much decided never to order from them again. Panera wins easily.

Can you really say this and not feel gay? Seriously, I'm asking. There's nothing there that I don't feel like a fruit for ordering.

I feel gay when I walk in the door especially when I'm surrounded by a bunch of soccer moms.

The only time I eat Panera is when the NFL scouts bring bagels to us, and even then I feel a little iffy.

The Media food sometimes is Panera. The food isnt bad compared to that vibe you get when you walk in the place. And I really like the sourdough bowl

I have to agree 100% with Super on this one. The only time I ever eat there is when Mrs. Cider drags me there kicking and screaming. Clam chowder in a bread bowl is all I ever eat there; I refuse to eat their sandwiches.

On the other hand, Dominoes has the 3 basic food groups for MEN--pizza, sandwiches, & wings! :lol:
