Heather Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Click. The difference, the judge ruled, comes down to two slices of bread versus one tortilla.The ruling covers burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I object, your honor. A quesadilla is two slices of "bread". freakin' lawyers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 A wise and just ruling. Last thing we need is some activist judge trying to conflate flat, round, unlevaned tortillas with bread, and making sandwich shops some new type of protected class.

They'll do the jobs that bread won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I would hope we litigate to prove that a stale tortilla does not a "Mexican Matzoh" make! Oy Chihuahua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treznor Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 In court papers, Panera, a St. Louis-based chain of more than 900 cafes, argued for a broad definition of a sandwich, saying that a flour tortilla is bread and that a food product with bread and a filling is a sandwich. That's reaaaaallly a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 But we need the tortillas. They'll do the jobs that bread won't.Oh you are so bad. Where do open-faced sandwiches fall under this ruling? With only one slice of bread can it really be called a "filling"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treznor Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Open-faced sandwhiches are clearly not sandwhiches under this ruling and as such a place serving only open-faced sandwhiches should also be able to enter that mall. That's a helluva niche to serve though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackers Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 freakin' lawyers... freakin' Massachusetts judges. I think it's safe to say that Panera's lawyers have already rewritten their stock contracts and will be renegotiating the existing ones all across the country - rapido speedo.

Freakin' ungrateful strip mall owners. The nerve, trying to rent a vacant space to a potential competitor of an existing tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 freakin' Massachusetts judges. Hey hey hey. It's only thanks to those same enlightened judges that two hot dog stands and/or taco joints are finally able to legally operate jointly from a single domestic premises, at least within the confines of this particular jurisdiction.And more choices are always good for the consumer, right?

crackers Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is a hot dog bun one slice or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is a hot dog bun one slice or two?Topologically, one, at least when presented to the diner. But so is a typical cheesesteak roll. Hmmmm.So where does the Big Mac fit into this classification space? And what about the Bender Schmender?

jparrott Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm pretty sure the portion guidelines would list a Big Mac as three servings of bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treznor Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 STOP WITH THE CRAZINESS, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! I went to Panera for lunch today. I got something called a panini, but it looked like a sandwhich, but they called it a panini. I was so confused that I couldn't eat my sandwhich, no my panini, no my bread-filling thing, for 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
