## Story

In addition to Panera’s salads, soups and sandwiches, the quick service chain debuted what it’s calling the “biggest product launch of the year”––two new grain bowls, according to Delish.

The Baja and Mediterranean bowls are available nationwide for Panera customers to feast on. While this menu item is new, Panera has been in the works of creating the perfect grain bowl that’s protein-packed for almost two years.

“With the launch of our Baja and Mediterranean warm Grain Bowls, Panera is at the forefront of bringing on-trend bowls to consumers across America, at scale,” said Panera’s EVP Chief Growth and Strategy Officer Dan Wegiel, according to Yahoo! Finance.

Now that Panera has officially partnered with third-party delivery companies such as DoorDash, GrubHub and Ubereats, customers will be able to order the new grain bowls through their favorite apps. The salad-soup restaurant has also made headlines for expanding into the airport segment––so now people can enjoy a grain bowl on-the-go.

Many fast casual restaurants have been in the process of brainstorming new menu additions in order to keep up with customers’ cravings; foodies are thrilled about Wendy’s plans to bring back its breakfast menu as well as Taco Bell’s new Toasted Cheddar Chalupa.
