This used to be my favorite item on Panera's (Bread Co in STL!) menu, many years ago--Then they changed it, made it smaller, removed the roast beef, cut down on the meat and called it a "steak" sandwich. NOPE. Not the same. Now there is a way to get the craving for the old Asiago Roast Beef sandwich! Make it yourself! So worth it! #AsiagoRoastBeef #PaneraCopycat #sonomnom4u
