There’s no stopping me from heading over to Panera after a long week to grab a You Pick Two (although more recently my go-to order has been the lobster roll). As a Panera enthusiast, I’m always on the hunt for new menu items and Panera understands the assignment―and its latest partnership has set the goal even higher. This isn’t just a new menu item, but a collaboration with Jake Shane (aka social media royalty). This is exactly the kind of fast food-meets-internet-culture crossover that gets people talking.

Panera launches “Pass That Panera” collaboration with TikTok star Jake Shane
The “Pass That Panera” partnership is a playful take on Jake Shane’s ‘pass that puss’ catchphrase from his podcast Therapuss. Shane’s custom “Pass That Panera” Meal features three Mix and Match Menu favorites:
Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup: White-meat chicken simmered in a homestyle chicken bone broth with curly egg noodles, sliced carrots, celery, and herbs. Soup lovers rejoice!
Caesar Salad Stuffer with Chicken: Romaine tossed in Caesar dressing with grilled chicken, shaved parmesan, and croissant croutons wrapped in the Italian Stuffer Roll. It’s worth noting that this is a new addition to the value menu too. Caesar salad for under $5? Count me in.
Fuji Apple Chicken Salad: Mixed greens and romaine topped with grilled chicken, grape tomatoes, red onions, toasted pecan pieces, feta, and apple chips alongside white balsamic vinaigrette.
Each order from the Mix and Match menu comes with a complimentary side of either a French baguette, chips, or an apple. And yes, choosing the baguette is still the correct answer.
Where to get the Jake Shane “Pass That Panera” collaboration?
You can get your hands (or shall we say tastebuds) on the “Pass That Panera” menu collaboration starting today (June 9). You can either head over to your local Panera and dine-in, get it delivered, or head to a drive-thru at Panera Bread bakery-cafes nationwide. The best part? Everything on the Mix and Match menu is available for under $5―to be exact, it’s only $4.99.
