Chow Are You Taking Notes, Burger King?
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 10:37 AM
People seem to be unsure if this is a real thing or not, but it's circling the internet anyway: There are reports that Kentucky Fried Chicken has introduced the Double Down, which is a chicken sandwich made with bacon and cheese and two pieces of fried chicken instead of bread. Here is cell phone footage of the commercial:
More at Consumerist.

If they dipped the whole thing in batter one last time and then deep-fried the whole thing, then they'd have a winner.

If they offered another version with grilled chicken instead of fried chicken, then it would be healthy.

Pretty sure the french and italians have been smushing cheese and bacon between chicken breasts for decades. One variant on Chicken Cannelloni uses mozzarella, dijon mustard and thick provence-style bacon and adds a cream and dill sauce.
This is nothing new.

It reminds me of this:
The Good Morning Burger
ingredients:
18oz ground beef patty
6-8 tbl. of rich creamy butter
8 stripes of bacon
4 slices of ham
3 fried eggs
instructions:
Sizzle the ground beef, bacon, ham, and eggs on the grill. Place the beef on a bun, the top with bacon, ham and eggs. Soak in butter.

It's real, but it only exists in a couple of markets thus far: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dailydis…

When we outlawed transfats, KFC went to a different formulation, which quite frankly is worse than the old one.
And then they went to grilling, which disguises it.
Wouldn't put it past them. @8 is right - normally they roll these things out in test markets and see if people like it.
I'm sticking with Arby's if I want meat. Or Dick's.

@9, "I'm sticking with Arby's if I want meat." That's the funniest thing you've ever typed. Arby's reconstituted "meat" has the flavor and texture of construction paper.

@1:
And it would probably end up on This Is Why You're Fat about two seconds later.
Oh, wait. The KFC Double Down is already on TIWYF.
As you were.
