I eat at both restaurants and CMG is a fast food.. stand in line choose your meal ... all Mexican and all Natural Organic meat... chicken,pork or beef. Then fill your tortilla or bowl.. I prefer the latter as it is less messy for me. I get the black beans, rice, lettuce , natural tomato.. and sour cream. There are a myriad of other choices such as hot salsa and guacamole...and then one either sits down or leaves. There is little overhead. The kitchen stays busy as the line for food are usually long. Panera on the other hand is a choose your menu and sit down with a gadget until it goes off and you go pick up your food. All food is in plastic and not much expense. They make their own breads and their selections are numerous. They always have hot soups... homemade. The one here in Sarasota and in Boone are always busy. Never a let up. Even afternoons when most restaurants slow down. They have numerous exotic drinks like Chai Tea... Anyway do appreciate your reply.. I love restaurants as I am retired and eat out a lot. Both these restaurants are on my list as top drawer... Ruby Tuesday has an excellent salad bar... and I love salad. Applebees is not so great. Small portions.. A good meal can always be had at Cracker Barrel... First Watch which is not a chain is my pick for great breakfasts. I should write a food column but started all this to show that once you try PNRA or CMG you will know better about these high flyer's as stocks. Wish I had bought BOTH at the bottom..
