I’m about to talk about Bakers Square.
Do Bakers Square restaurants still exist in the USA?
I’m not so sure.
I vaguely remember several branches going out of business.
Has the whole operation gone belly up?
Someone please answer me.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight unless I know.
Anyone?
For as long as I can remember, visits to Bakers Square involved one meal and one meal only.
The Chicken Focaccia Sandwich.
Sautéed mushrooms and red onions, a grilled chicken breast, Swiss cheese and honey mustard sauce served on warm focaccia bread with a side of seasoned fries.
Once I became a vegetarian, I didn’t give up the Bakers Square Chicken Focaccia tradition.
It just became: sautéed mushrooms and red onions, Swiss cheese and honey mustard served on warm focaccia bread with a side of seasoned fries.
Dinner tonight was a new and improved version of my favorite sandwich from the restaurant chain which might not exist anymore.
Tofu Mushroom Focaccia Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 servings of focaccia bread, toasted
- drizzle of olive oil
- 1 block smoked tofu, drained and sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms, chopped
- 2 small red onions, sliced
- Italian seasoning to taste
- Seasoned salt to taste
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 Tbsp. honey mustard
Method
- Warm the olive oil in a non-stick pan. Sautee the onions, mushrooms and tofu with the spices until golden brown.
- Toast the focaccia bread. Place the cheese on the hot bread, top with the sautéed mixture. You can either spread the honey mustard on the sandwich or use it as a dipping sauce.
This sandwich is so tasty and easy.
When you can make this in 15 minutes, who needs Bakers Square anyways?
Eating Abroad
I don’t know whether they still exist, but when I was a kid (kindergarten and younger), I remember eating chocolate silk pie, and salads with parmesan dressing there. Now I want pie! Or your sandwich, which also looks delicious.
The dailyspark was the very first blog that got me hooked on blogs. How exciting to have a dailysparker here! Thank you for visiting and sharing your Bakers Square memories!
Yes, there is one near my house in Wisconsin (Milwaukee).
I just stumbled upon your blog a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Combines my love of travel (especially Germany) and food!
Ah, I can breathe easy now! So they do exist. I’m glad you’re here. If you ever venture over to Germany, I’d love to show you around my area!
Danke for the offer! Hopefully I will get back to Germany again soon. I just went there for my honeymoon a year ago–we went to Bacharach, Sankt Goar, Burg Eltz, Koln, Berlin, Munchen and Frankfurt.
You were able to see many great cities and sites. Burg Eltz is one of my favorite castles in Germany! You didn’t see Bonn, however. This justifies a trip back!
