KFC Double Down?

1stSoon2BePhD · #1 05-10-2010, 09:24 PM

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.

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!

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

Crap Honeychile - went to edit that last one out and you had already QFP'd it.

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?

Never mind - just looked at it again. So THAT's a garbage plate. Hmmm...can't say I'm sorry to have missed that.

honeychile · #14 05-17-2010, 11:25 PM

^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!

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.
