Grant & Ash, Panera | Midnight Heat

In the 92nd edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Panera” by Grant & Ash.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 92^nd edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Panera” by Grant & Ash.

“Panera, Panera, got fucked in Panera.” Say what, now?! “Panera, Panera, found love in Panera / Panera, Panera, gave birth in Panera / You pick two, but I pick you!” Oh, snap! Grant & Ash – Grant Gibbs and Ashley Gill – said it best themselves: “Name a more iconic duo than / A twink and a redhead”.  The multifaceted duo is incredibly entertaining, highlighted by their brief, NSFW single, “Panera”.  Panera isn’t the first spot that ‘comes’ to mind regarding sex, but, in the hands of Grant & Ash, they turn the delicious eatery into something even more delicious .  Gibbs, Gill, and producer Drew Louis penned this far more risqué version of our beloved Panera Bread.

Leading the charge is our favorite twink, Grant.  Fittingly, he mentions a signature menu item, Broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl.  Of course, Gibbs cares more about pleasure: “The man at the register asked me, how’s your day? / I said pretty good, but I’m feeling kinda gay!” Uh-oh! Rather than a pick two, Grant tells him, “… I pick you.” From there, love is made somewhere in Panera… gay love at that! No worries, though – Ashley gets her lovin’ in, too! “Chicken Caesar salad, come and toss it, okay!” Holy shit! Like Grant, Ashley is asked questions: “The man at the table went and asked me, how’s it taste / I said pretty good, wanna come and lick my plate?”  Come, huh? Lick my plate, huh? Do you remember when Ariana Grande sang those naughty lyrics in “Sweetener”, “I like the way you lick the bowl?” Ash is giving the same vibes .  Grant & Ash forever changed the perspective on the menu at Panera Bread. The most outlandish lyric on the bridge: “The longest baguette, give it to me faggot.” “Panera” is short, but this is a fierce, fun, and unapologetic sex song from Gibbs and Gill.
