Title: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: stroh on April 05, 2010, 07:44:42 PM KFC's new Double Down (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36179954/ns/business-consumer_news/?gt1=43001) Chicken samich.
Quote The chicken chain rolls out its Double Down sandwich this weekend — although some might question whether it really is a sandwich. It consists of two white meat chicken breast fillets with a filling of bacon, Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese with Colonel’s Sauce (a spicy mayonnaise).

Post by: twoiron on April 05, 2010, 07:59:28 PM I'm not sure why, but for some reason that seems reasonably appetizing [sm_shock]

Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: stroh on April 05, 2010, 08:03:50 PM Indeed! That *feces* looks good. *fudge* bread. I'll take 2. ;D

Post by: stroh on April 05, 2010, 08:18:19 PM I tell you what, I'd take either one. Maybe it's just 'cause I'm hungry right now.
The bottom one I'd eat with a fork. And if I'm eating it with a fork, they might as well cover it with Country Gravy. ;D Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: dystopia on April 05, 2010, 08:20:34 PM That's interesting that there's an Original Recipe version and Grilled version, but no Extra Crispy version.
Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: twoiron on April 05, 2010, 08:32:22 PM Do you guys have "hot n' spicey" over there?
That would surely kick ass over Original Recipe!! Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: dystopia on April 05, 2010, 08:34:20 PM Do you guys have "hot n' spicey" over there? That would surely kick ass over Original Recipe!! Nope. Sounds good. I like Popeye's spicy fried chicken. Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: stroh on April 05, 2010, 08:36:30 PM Do you guys have "hot n' spicey" over there? That would surely kick ass over Original Recipe!! I think they do. To be honest I don't get much stuff from KFC. Normally just teh buffet when I go which translates into way more Extra Crispy chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits that I should eat. Popeye's I think has hot and spicy stuff but I haven't been to one of those in years. Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: dystopia on April 20, 2010, 07:18:50 PM So I tried one of these Double Down "sandwiches" today. I tried the Original Recipe kind.
It was smaller than I expected. Small enough that after leaving the KFC and still feeling hungry, I stopped at the Popeye's down the road for their Tuesday Leg & Thigh Special. Random thoughts: - It's likely that this particular place screwed up the prep, but it wasn't as crispy looking as the pics. The outer coating was kind of soft and soggy. - The chicken itself was pretty good. Indifferent toward the cheese and bacon. Didn't really add or detract from the experience. I would have liked to try something else in between the chicken pieces instead of bacon/cheese, such as: i) hummus ii) a fish fillet patty iii) cole slaw iv) maybe even a sliced bun, like the center bun of Big Mac. So I'm glad I tried it, but I don't see myself getting another one. Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout! Post by: stroh on April 20, 2010, 08:26:58 PM Small enough that after leaving the KFC and still feeling hungry, I stopped at the Popeye's down the road...... LMAO! Glad I'm not the only one. I haven't had one of these deals yet. Can't find a KFC here, but I have had one thing at some joint, still been hungry and stopped at another. Title: Re: Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout!
