Lunch Date at Panera Bread

Most of the time when I go to Panera, I’m alone with my laptop editing photos or writing with a Pick 2 on the table. I usually need a few minutes to select the perfect combo for the day, and I tend to go with whatever the weather dictates; soup and salad for chilly days, [...]

Restaurant: Calwer Eck, Stuttgart, Germany

Andrea Meyers - Meal at Calwer Eck in Stuttgart, Germany
