KFC Double Down?
 

http://www.kfc.com/doubledown/images/doubledown.jpg

The new KFC Double Down sandwich is real! This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun! --kfc.com

Has anyone tried this?

I think I'd be allergic to it but it looks good. It looks really good, actually. That's a great idea, too.

I pretty much only eat protein but I have to say, this looks totally disgusting to me.

KFC has made some pretty bad calls in the past, but this has to be the worst. Colonel Sanders is turning over in his grave :(

It's just their chicken fillet from their sandwiches. We tried that "fillet snacker" and it was gross. Looks more appetizing than it actually is. We regretted it immediately and again a few hours later...

I used to LOVE KFC years and years ago. No more.

I really loved KFC until they stopped using transfat. Now it always has a bitter taste to it. I bought a bucket yesterday to eat for lunches all week this week and it's nasty. I know it's healthier, but if it's not edible, it doesn't make much difference.

I'm originally from W.Va by way of - never mind. Point is, grease and I are good friends. We considered it a side dish. I particularly like it when it covers fried chicken and bacon. Still, this makes me want to vomit (a rarity for me when food is involved - I happily eat anything). Their last two additions were equally bad - pressed chicken breast with fake grill marks (yuck) and that disgusting layered mashed potato, chicken, gravy, corn disaster. Whoever they have in their creative kitchen should be shot by Paula Dean.

Omgz that thing is horrible.

It's basically a chicken cordon bleu that's been fast-food-ized. Also, adding bacon. I don't want to eat it, but it's not really the end of the food world.

it's soooo salty. i think it has 150% of ur daily sodium intake.[/QUOTE]

Looking at that makes me very happy I made the decision not to eat meat anymore.:)

So gross.

This may have sent him TO his grave. It looks like a heart attack in a wrapper. :confused:

many have tried, few have lived to tell about it.

I keep thinking that they are trying to cater to those of us who are limiting our carb intake and order things like a cheeseburger without a bun. However, KFC doesn't need to cater to us because it (and Boston Market) were already top on my list of places I can get no carb meals because you can get "just chicken".

This. Plus I love the description of it being a "one-of-a-kind sandwich." :rolleyes:

And YAY to see you here!!!

Yeah, people will fall for anything. :p I won't say it's disgusting but that sodium and bacon are a huge NO for me. But...I'll still try it if we're roadtripping and being forced into food aventurism.

Drolefile rocks. Now we need to find nittanyalum and others who have better things to do than visit GC. :p

I love Boston Market!

This thing is gross to me....and I love KFC and Fast food in particular....but what really makes my arteries harden is this YUCK....view at your own risk

Seriously, Colonel Sanders is REALLY upset right now! And I was just talking about that bowl with my sister last night. The ads used to say "All your favorite things in one bowl!" I love chocolate, shrimp, guacamole, and cereal but I don't want them all in one bowl!

If I weren't allergic I would try one.

Heartattacks! Get your heartattacks here!

Me too. Their chicken is delicious and the cinnamon apples are YUM.

Aitch Beee Peee sammich!

when i saw this the first time i said to my husband,"this looks like something college age guys would eat at 2 a.m. after drinking beer all night.

lol lol lol lol

I only come here for the praise and the adoration that is poured upon me at each appearance.

Also I now want bacon. Not chicken, but bacon.

yup. or something Will Ferrell's character would eat in Land of the Lost.

"what are you eating?"

"it's a donut--stuffed with M&M's."


that double stack looks like the leading cause of the food coma.

OMG I looove their mashed potato bowls!!!

I dunno. I can think of much better ways to cause a heart attack.

^^^^Uh oh - and up until now I completely respected you and then in one brief post you've destroyed all of that. JK. To each her own.

I agree with the "love Boston Market" posters. There was a busy time in our lives when that was as close as we came to a home cooked meal. Unfortunately, they closed all of the ones here.

Me too! What, you people weren't the kids who piled their entire dinner into one big pile, mixed it around some, then got as many pieces of everything into one bite?

You're the no-food-touchers, aren't you?

Apparently you've never had a garbage plate.

My previous post was in response to epchick. Sorry. Didn't get it in there fast enough.

I can sleep now! ;)

Crap Honeychile - went to edit that last one out and you had already QFP'd it. :p Everyone is typing too fast for me tonight.

Doesn't matter - I've lost all respect for you as well Agzg (lol). And no I never mixed my food up as a child. I'm anal retentive like that. Also explains why I color code my closet and love The Container Store (an overwhelming need for control and order), so you can see why the whole KFC chicken, corn, potatoe, gravy thing is deeply disturbing to me and my world view.

Finallly, WHAT exactly is the mess in that picture? :eek: Never mind - just looked at it again. So THAT's a garbage plate. Hmmm...can't say I'm sorry to have missed that.

^I was thinking more on the lines of bbq, corn bread and homemade ice cream - or the Dirty O's hot dog & fries, but hey, different food porn for different people!

ETA: I am NOT a food mixer - unless it's soup. Those garbage plates gross me out! I don't even like sides (well, maybe slaw) with my bbq!

I love the container store, too. I squeal over post-it's like 12 year old girls over Justin Beiber. I just like mixing my food, I guess.

The "mess" (ouch) in the picture is a Garbage plate, in fact, my favorite garbage plate. It's basically home fries and macaroni salad, with some sort of meat over it plus "hots" and other condiments (and if anyone here is from or has lived in WNY, you understand me when I say something with ground beef in it is a condiment). The one I posted is a hot dog garbage plate, my favorite (minus that crazy amount of ketchup), but the original usually has cheeseburger patties and italian rolls instead of the hot dog.

You can get them with fish, eggs, sausage, pretty much anything.

That, my friends, is what college-aged guys (and gals) will eat at 2am after drinking beer all night.

They're great but I almost never finish a whole garbage plate (that's what she said).

ETA: Honeychile, can you explain to me why I can eat that, and the KFC bowls, and mix together my entire Thanksgiving dinner (complete with shredding the roll and mixing it with my potatoes), but I can't get behind slaw and fries on a Primanti Brother's Sandwich? I think it's because I'm not huge on cabbage.

ETA2: Oh man. I just realized that you guys are going to think that you can't take me anywhere. I do NOT do this with meals at fine restaurants.

OK, so I do, but just a little bit. Mostly because I wasn't sure if it was a soup or a dip.

Wasn't there a PBS show on sandwiches from around the country? I know they mentioned the Hot Brown (eerily like our Turkey Devonshire), and some loose meat sandwich.

Okay, I checked! It's a special by local boy Rick Sebak of WQED, Sandwiches That You Will Like. A lot of them were disgusting, but I was going to Buffalo that summer, and tried the Beef on Weck. Pretty good, but not an Italian Beef from Chicago.

ETA1 - Once you've tried a Primanti's (and turned your back on the cook to eat it the way you'd like), you'll love it. Especially if you like the above!

ETA2 - Don't worry about none of us wanting to eat with you unless someone tries to put a bib on you first! As I said, food porn is different for everybody. Mine must include chocolate! How do you think the Cold Stone people came up with their concept?

ETA3 - I love the Container Store, too!

ha! i just came from chipotle. i get the burrito bowl normally because i want EVERYTHING mixed up. mmmm. it tastes so much better that way.

i thought i was the only one that called it food porn. i started doing so after seeing thisiswhyyourefat.com.
