You may want to check out the Laravel debugbar. I wouldn't develop a Laravel app without it. It will give you a breakdown of all queries (including repeated queries and ajax queries), with the speed they executed at and a note to the line in the controller/method that called them. (It provides TONS more info as well, such as views, gates, routes, etc.)

Also, Laravel has a toSql() method that you can use instead of your example. It will only show you the prepared statement as your example does, but it's at least a little cleaner. If you use toSql(), you have to apply it before you execute the query though.

$foo = Foo::where('bar', 'baz');
$foo_sql = $foo->toSql();
$foo->get();
