Bread’s for Peasants

30Apr10

This will be a day long remembered, my friends.  I purchased, wait for it . . . the Double Down.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Double Down, it’s a cholesterol-filled monstrosity of a sandwich.

The sandwich contains Monterey Jack cheese, pepperjack cheese, Colonel’s sauce, and two pieces of bacon.  Yep, that’s a pretty rich sandwich!

Oh wait.  Forgot to mention.  There’s no bread.  The “buns” are two breaded chicken breasts.  You read that correctly.

That’s a man’s sandwich right there.

Verdict: I’ll be honest.  I bought this sandwich solely to sate my curiosity.  Imagine my surprise when I found that it wasn’t half bad.  Very flavorful (well, duh) and the chicken was, as always, excellent.  Say what you want but KFC knows how to cook a good chicken.

They claim it only contains 540 calories.  I don’t wish to be libelous because I didn’t chemically analyze the caloric potentiality of this sandwich, so let’s just say that I “think” that’s ludicrous.  :-)

It was tasty but I can’t imagine I’ll ever buy it again.  I have pretty bad cholesterol and this sandwich can’t be good for me, regardless of how many miles I run the following morning.

    I am so proud of you for:

    A) Taking one for the team
    B) Carrying your camera
    C) Admitting to eating this

    If the chicken wasn’t breaded they could market it as “low carb”…

  2. Markedly well written blog!!

  3. Admirable piece of writing…
