I thought I was the only one! Pandera is ok, but I'd take a non-franchised restaurant with good soup over Pandera any day of the week. Too me, Pandera is every bit as un-charming as The Veranda is charming.
I guess I shouldn't be sad that it's opening on the square, since so many TVers are glad it's coming. But I do wish it were off-campus instead. Yes, I am a wee bit sad to see Veranda replaced with Pandera. I'll be a wee bit more sad to see any more franchise restaurants on the squares.
And sorry Z, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE no McDs on the square. That would make me more than a wee bit sad.
