Introducing the Ciabatta Dippers: A New Twist on Comfort Classics​

Panera's culinary wizards have been busy in the kitchen, conjuring up two new Ciabatta Dippers that are the epitome of melty, meaty goodness.

These sandwiches are a love letter to those who believe that the only thing better than a mouthwatering sandwich is one you can dip into a soul-soothing soup.



The French Dipper: A Gourmet Take on a Classic
First up is the French Dipper, a sandwich that takes the traditional French Dip to new heights.

Imagine tender, marinated steak and a generous helping of melted provolone and asiago cheeses, all nestled between slices of freshly baked ciabatta bread.



The garlic aioli adds a creamy, flavorful punch that will make your taste buds sing.

And the pièce de résistance?

A “dipping portion” of Panera's Bistro French Onion Soup, rich and savory, ready to welcome your sandwich for a dip that's nothing short of divine.

The Spicy Chicken Dipper: A Zesty Flavor Fiesta​

For those who like a little heat, the Spicy Chicken Dipper is a must-try.

This sandwich is a fiesta of flavors, featuring grilled chicken and a creamy salsa verde spread that packs a flavorful punch.


The melted provolone cheese pulls it all together, creating a symphony of spicy and savory notes.

Paired with Panera's Creamy Tomato Soup, this sandwich is a match made in heaven for those who crave a kick with their comfort food.

For those seeking a heartier option, the Hearty Fireside Chili will warm you from the inside out. It's a robust concoction of beef, kidney beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, and green chili peppers, simmered in a chili and cilantro-infused broth.

And let's not forget the Rustic Baked Potato Soup, a creamy delight featuring homestyle potatoes, bacon, chives, and a rich Monterey Jack cheese sauce, crowned with melted asiago.
