This is perhaps man’s greatest achievement or evidence of our civilization’s impending doom. Maybe it’s both.
Meet the KFC “double down.” Although no mention of it is made on KFC.com and we have never seen an ad for it ourselves, we are being lead to believe that it is real by Foodgeekery.com. They have crappy cell phone camera footage of a commercial (from Omaha, apparently) for the mysterious beast, as well as photographic evidence of it in the wild.
The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel’s sauce.
More coverage:
Omaha, Nebraska (where the Foodgeekery.com reviewer is from), and an area in Rhode Island are test markets for the Double Down Chicken Sandwich, Stefan said. The sandwich has been selling for about three weeks, and “it’s doing really well, actually,” Stefan said (he declined to give us his last name).
A quick calculation using the nutritional information on KFC’s Web site reveals the Double Down Chicken Sandwich to be about 858 calories and 62.4 grams of fat — about the same amount of calories and more fat than Wendy’s 1/3-pound Triple with cheese.
Oh, where did we go wrong, KFC? We wanted to like you, we really did.
The Double Down Chicken Sandwich is not listed on KFC’s Web site. We called three KFC stores in the Orlando area and asked them whether they offered the Double Down Chicken Sandwich. None of the workers had heard of it.
