Soup du jour: salt.

Unbearably salty vegetarian black bean soup and okay whole-grain baguette from Panera. I find myself at this place much too often, and am too-often dismayed at the completely soulless food on offer here. The food is generic and cafeteria-like. The pastries are always stale. Everything is oversalted or too sweet.

It would be one thing if they didn't put so much emphasis on "tradition" and "artisan" and "fresh-baked." But they do.
