Fast casual, also called quick casual, has been around since the late 1990s. As practiced by its leading proponents, such as sandwich chain Panera Bread ... fast casual emphasizes better quality food served in a more comfortable and more upscale environment than a Burger King -- but with the convenience of traditional fast food, so there isn’t table service and there may or may not be a drive-thru. 4, record 1, English, - fast%20casual%20restaurant
