Comfort Food
- Which brings us to KFC's newest menu item, introduced Monday: the Double Down ($4.99), a bacon and cheese sandwich where bread is replaced with fried chicken. Re-read that last sentence, and just try to grasp its cultural significance. The toothpaste is out of the proverbial tube.
Besides being plain gross, Double Down's larger implication is that KFC has broken through a barrier of culinary decency, besmirching the good name of sandwiches and all that is honorable. The sandwich was designed as the first mobile meal, the bread a vehicle to transport perishable and often-messy proteins. The absence of bread robs this “sandwich” of dignity.
Holding this meat-glorb (I shall no longer refer to it as the s-word) is a harrowing task — it's scalding hot to pick up, and oily through the parchment-like paper. Bread would have provided traction, but here, the cheese and mayo interior acts as a lubricant of sorts, allowing the fried boneless chicken fillets to slip and slide against each other.
Our left arms just went numb looking at this thing. One of these things and you can apply for the "heart bill" on general principle. We can't help but wonder, WWCSD (What Would Colonel Sanders Do?)

Obama care will cure all those clogged arteries. Rejoice the savior is here.
I would be embarrassed to order that.
No doubt KFC will release another version of this sandwich to completely corner the ghetto-dwelling market.
Add three full strokes of "pump cheese" and a liberal application of BBQ sauce immediately following submersion in the deep fryer.
I foresee advertisement of this latest creation being adjacent to the Crown Royal and Newport billboards that adorn the confines of the West and South sides.
Eeeeeeeew.
Can someone get Da Mayor on dees tings?
"Disgusting" is the word we're looking for -- but no matter. As long as it come wid "sweet tea."
We call it "iced tea" around here. Mine may or may not have sugar in it at all.
All of a sudden, everywhere I look, "sweet tea."
By the way -- one of those big-burger heart-attack chains is offering popcorn that's popped in bacon fat and doused with melted cheese...this is really whistling past the graveyard.

Just saw an article on it. I read that surprisingly it has 460 calories. The bad thing however was that it 70% of what is supposed to amt. to a persons daily sodium count.
Umm… Hate to tell you SCC, it's NOT the worst of the lot! In fact, it's near healthy considering what is all ready out there.

Dear Sirs,
After heartily enjoying my consumption of two of these most delectable sandwiches, I enjoy nothing more then finishing this nutritious meal with some carbonated grape flavored soda water, and a bag of spicily hot flavored puffed cheese snacks.
Wait till Cartman gets load of this!

Hey now, SCC. Stop insulting blind people.
Get the plastic knife/fork/extra napkins and eat this thing at a table. Officer safety alert : Grease on weapon grips equals trouble. Pop a statin pill after eating. Please keep grease off of steering wheel, PDT and light bar control please.
The healthiest thing to eat from KFC is the bag.
I thought this sounded good! Now I'm not even going to try it.
all they need to do is put a nice big juicy hash brown inbetween and it would be perfect.
Can a get a heart attack with a stroke, please!
Just eat it!
I'm speechless.
One of these with two deep fried Twinkies for dessert and a gray pop, please.
Tom Laurin ate 3 of these!
