Panera Bread (otherwise known as St. Louis Bread Co. in the St. Louis area) is holding a competition for a new sandwich recipe to put on the menu for a limited time at its 48 St. Louis locations. This competition is super exclusive, as only Missouri and Illinois residents can participate. 200 entries were received last year, and they expect around 300 entries this year.
Last year's winner was a Beefsteak Bleu, which consisted of beef and bleu cheese with sundried tomato pesto and Caesar dressing. Entries must be submitted by September 15th. Make sure you look at the official rules because they specifically list out all of the ingredients that you are allowed to use. There are some really odd ones in there too.... gooey butter filling??!! So have fun and be creative!!! Even runner ups get prizes!
Jessie and I are going to think of some sandwiches to come up with. It's going to be hard though because you can only enter one, so it's gotta be good! Luckily there are two of us ;-)
I'm really going to ponder the french toast sandwich with gooey butter filling topped with whipped cream, hahaha! I'm putting my thinking hat on and I know Josie is too! Hopefully one of us makes the finals!
