Is Au Bon Pain really that much healthier compared to McDonald's? Looking at the nutrition menu for both, it doesn't look like Au Bon Pain is really much healthier. A Big Mac has 29g of fat and 540 cal. Most of the sandwiches (especially the hot sandwiches) at Au Bon Pain seem to have similar fat and calorie content. There are also relatively healthier items at McDonalds (e.g., Grilled Chicken sandwiches).
I am by no means a fan of McDonalds, but I'm not sure Au Bon Pain necessarily is a healthier option in general. They're both fast food in my book.

I only order the harvest chicken salad sandwich at au bon pain. Arguably the healthiest item in the menu. Sales must have been poor for them to pull out.

Oh trust me it may seem healthy with “grilled” and “veggies” but I can almost guarantee that entree has more fat grams than 2 Big Macs. Of course they don’t have nutritional values....

I hit that one last time I was in DFW a few weeks ago. Wasn't expecting much from airport BBQ but was pleasantly surprised, it was very good. I'll be making more trips over to B for this.
LOL

I have never eaten there and have always wanted to try it. I haven't because I go to New Orleans 2-4 times a year and don't think it would be as good as I get down there. Am I missing out?

Not at all especially if you got to NOLA that many times year. In ELP, we don't have any cajun restaurants and I like eating cajun food every once in a while.

I'll just repost what I posted in the Terminal E satellite thread a few weeks back:
Flew through DFW earlier in the week and it looked like they were adding a new Panda Express, which is very on-brand. I'm still shocked that they closed the Taco Bell in C, seemed like T. Bell was a perfect fit for the ambiance they're working on creating.

Ah, ok, that could be. I couldn't tell if they had boarded it up for closure, or were building it out. I thought I remembered it being in the food court areas so I thought this one may be new.
