Oh, man, you're evil. I hadn't heard of this, but now I'm obsessed. Original Recipe all the way - lower sodium than Grilled!

TIA for the clogged arteries!

We now have proof that evil is alive and well, and it is KFC.. so it is medicinal. Eating that will help prevent testicular cancer...

Haha, I stopped by the KFC tonight to try one of these, actually.

It was actually pretty good. Not near enough bacon as I'd like, but beyond that I have no complaints.

(review I wrote for people at work)

KFC Double Down
http://www.kfc.com/doubledown/

"This product is so meaty, there's no room for a bun!"

Chicken, 2 kinds of cheese, some bacon, and more chicken. What could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, KFC explores those possibilities with their new Double Down sandwich.

Sandwich: KFC Original Recipe® Double Down
Calories: 540
Fat (g): 32
Sodium (mg): 1380

Sandwich: KFC Grilled Double Down
Calories: 460
Fat (g): 23
Sodium (mg): 1430

I tried the fried version, because frankly, who needs all that salt with the grilled one, right? Point of sale on 4/15 was at the (redacted for internet posting) location.

The chicken was as tender and juicy as anything KFC serves up, but the rest of the sandwich was pretty underwhelming. The sandwich had two barely-detectable pieces of floppy soggy bacon which did not lend much delicious bacony flavor at all. The stringy bacon was a bit hard to bite off since the rest of the sandwich was tender. The pepper jack cheese was a nice spicy touch; however with two kinds of cheese (and the only thing holding it together being two greasy pieces of chicken) this meal deteriorated into an unrecognizable mess just past the halfway mark.

I realize that the "MEAT!" concept is a marketing gimmick to get fine junk food connoisseurs like myself through the doors. Despite that fact, KFC should redesign this sandwich in the following fashion:

  • Take the standard KFC biscuit and double-size it for use as a bun
  • Remove one chicken patty
  • Find some way to infuse the remaining chicken patty with a mild bacon flavor
  • Double the bacon and make it crispy
  • Put it all back together with the same cheese
  • Optional cup of KFC gravy on the side for dipping or topping

Overall rating: 6.5/10
Grade: D+
Final Words: If you're a real fast food addict, try it once to say you did it; it'll probably make a good story someday. For everyone else, there are a lot more fun ways to get a day's worth of fat and salt. Don't waste your time.

I got one of these for Lisa today as well... And I wish I could say she farted horribly from it; but since women do not fart... they had a.. ummmm... chemical leak from the photo machine that cleared the photo lab... as in Kashi go Lean style chemical leak: I was lucky as I experienced no chemical leaks from any equipment that I was around all day.

You do have issues with the malfunctioning crop dusting equipment in the office here sometimes.
