Sadly this is no joke...
I was driving to work this morning listening to a local radio morning show when they started making fun of KFC’s most recent sandwich creation… the Double Down. At first I thought it was a joke, so as soon as I got to my computer I hopped on trusty Google to find out if this thing was for real.
It was…
Today I am not proud to introduce to you the KFC Double Down! This is a serious sandwich will serious implications. No bread… this protein packed sandwich is made up of two FRIED chicken breast acting as a bun with bacon and cheese lying in between.
Now of course some people would think the two pieces of chicken is a meal (though the idea of fast food fried chicken has not been on my menu since I was young and didn’t know better). But not for the Double Down lovers… you also get pepper jack cheese, a few slices of bacon and the “Colonel’s Special Sauce”.
Excuse my language… but who the hell thought this should be on the menu? I mean I thought with all the recent attention on food (thanks Jamie Oliver and Michelle Obama) that they would stay clear of crap and want to come out with something a bit more figure friendly… guess I was a moron.
You will be surprised though, with 540 calories, this isn’t near as bad as I thought it would be but there are over 32 grams of fat and over 1300 mg of salt. Let’s face it, this does not embrace a clean eating plan!
Would you ever try this thing? What’s the most unhealthy fast food you have ever had in your life?
I will admit when I was a gymnast, and still under 100 lbs I could down a Big Mac no problem. But I am proud to say I have touched McDonald’s in over 10 years!
