I Know Where I'll Be On April 12th...

[OldManC]

Last August, we wrote about the "Double Down," a mysteriously tempting (and potentialy lethal) new food item being tested by KFC. For those coming late to the story, it's bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken. And now, many months later, I'll finally be able to get my hands on one.

KFC announced the decision to go live with the Double Down yesterday, but we weren't sure they weren't playing a April Fools gag. But no, they truly are going nationwide with the delicacy on April 12.

"Gag" would be the operative word.

I think it's smiling at me.

What!  No mayo! 

Seriously, everything is better with bacon!  Except my freakin' cholesteral

[OldManC]

It's obviously not something I'm going to be wanting to eat regularly, but I totally have to give it a try at least once!

[Basshappi]

Oh my!

"Starts Killing People"    Typical BS from The Consumerist. I wasn't planning on rushing out to try it, but since they criticize it ("potentially lethal") I'll make it a point to have one. Or maybe a few.

Fast food Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Seriously, I'd put it on some nice french bread with lettuce, tomato and mayo!

Not something I could have often but I will probably splurge and try it once.

Don't be hatin' on meat Kenny  

I'll just try not to think how those chickens are proccessed to make my culinary heart attack starter   Besides I did say that I would add lettuce and tomato

If I may quote my muse and hero Homer Simpson......

" I can't wait to pack that into my colan".   






I 'll just pass thanks, I have my girlie figure to take care of.

When my daughters were in high school, we went to dinner at a local eclectic burger joint and I watched in amazement as one of them stuffed down a burger that consisted of a big burger patty AND a chicken breast with all the fixin's piled on top.  That girl had put in a hard day at softball and she packed it in like I have seldom seen before or since.  It was impressive.
