If you've ever struggled to choose between two delicious side dishes, Panera's new Double Bread Bowls are a dream come true. While the company describes the new bowls as ideal for sharing, the deliciously doughy vessel can certainly accommodate solo diners with a big appetite.
Starting on August 5th, Panera will begin testing Double Bread Bowls. This innovative new serving option consists of an entire loaf of sourdough bread with two hollowed out sections. Customers can then fill the bowls with any mac & cheese and soup combo, or go for two soups at once. As the brand explains, the new bowls are perfect for "sharing with your BFF, significant other, or even a co-worker."
The Double Bread Bowls will only be tested in Philadelphia until August 31st, so fans may have to make a trip to the City of Brotherly Love to get their hands on this delicious new option.
