If you're cutting carbs or avoiding gluten, you don't have to avoid bakery-cafe chain Panera Bread. The company has a secret menu with items that don't include bread or flour—but you have to ask for that hidden menu.


Hidden menus at restaurant chains are unique and intriguing, if not all that "secret.". Panera's even published six dishes you can get at the cafe if you ask for them: two power breakfast egg bowls, two salads, a chicken hummus bowl, and a steak lettuce wrap. You won't find these on the menu board, but now you've got expanded options at Panera.
