In August, I reported that KFC was testing a sandwich called the Double Down, which uses fried chicken patties in place of bread. After an apparently successful run in Nebraska and Rhode Island, the Double Down will become a standard KFC menu offering.
The sandwich will make its decadent debut today. The chain lists the nutritional info if you're interested (hint: it's bad for you) along with this description:
two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken fillets (Original Recipe or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun!
As one Facebook reader commented the first time I wrote about this, when does it stop being a sandwich and start being chicken cordon bleu? Good question. Another might be, when does fried food stop being good and just start being gross? Probably when you're deep-frying a sandwich made with French fries. Would you gamble on the Double Down?
