The viral menu hack consists of an order of Panera’s Mac and Cheese and a cup of Bistro French Onion Soup. Shari’s method involves taking a spoonful of mac and cheese and dipping it into the French onion soup before enjoying a bite of the delicious goodness.
“Have you ever dipped the bread into the french onion soup and then put the mac and cheese on top?” questioned one experienced Panera patron. To which Shari replied, “OMG yes, amazing!” Another person who viewed the TikTok pleaded, “Shari, I already defrosted my meat for dinner tonight, get out of here with this!”
