The KFC Double Down Review...

The media hysteria about KFC’s new Double Down sandwich convinced me I had to try it. Just about every article / review I’ve read says it’s one of the most unhealthiest sandwiches of any fast food chain, so I had to see what this was all about.

When I’m not on vacation, I almost never go out to eat. And when I do, I usually stick to my favorites: Little Caesar’s Pizza, the Flying Saucer Restaurant, Old Country Buffet, Burger King, Wendy’s, Dunkin Donuts, or Tim Hortons.

My original plan was to get about three Double Downs for supper. Then I saw the price. It’s $4.99 for one or $6.99 for one with the value meal. So I just ended up getting one Double Down and a two-piece chicken dinner (with one of their awesome biscuits and mashed potatoes) - thank you to KFC for online coupons.

The Double Down is cheese and bacon surrounded by - not bread - but two pieces of chicken (either original or grilled - I went with the original). It was excellent!!! I love bacon and was definitely able to taste it in this food masterpiece. And the KFC chicken is always good, so two pieces at once was like heaven for my taste buds. I don’t think I could have eaten more than two, so I’m happy I didn’t go through with my original plan. In fact, one was enough (especially since I had the extra food anyways, lol).

Overall, mmmm-mmmm, yummy, yummy - and highly recommended! But this is definitely not an everyday type of food. Not even an every week thing. Once in a while is more than enough. It sure did make for a perfect meal while watching everyone starve on Survivor though (at least until some of them got to feast).

The fact that I was able to write this proves I survived the meal. So most of the reviewers are all just big health-nut whiners. Every now and then it’s okay to be bad and eat something that’s sooooo good.
