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.
