Panera Bread Artisan Ciabatta Loaf
This ciabatta sandwich is high, driven by the marinated steak, provolone, garlic aioli, and cherry peppers.
Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.
A ciabatta loaf filled with marinated steak, provolone, caramelized onions, garlic aioli, and diced sweet cherry peppers.
-
Marinated steak and aged provolone — the marinated steak runs high and the aged provolone is high from aging, so either one alone puts the sandwich in the high range.
-
Garlic aioli and cherry peppers — the garlic aioli acts as a DAO blocker and the diced zesty sweet cherry peppers are high, adding more to the same pile.
The fresh ciabatta is fine on its own, so the fillings are what carry the rating here.
