A Tempting Slice of Heaven from KFC, The Double Down Aug 26

KFCdoubledown2I haven’t written on here for awhile, and for that I apologize. My mind has just been taken up by other things these days. Anyway, recently I started eating a whole lot better. For lunch I’ve just been having cereal and yogurt and then later at home I end up having some pasta or some grilled chicken. That has really increased the effects of going to the gym everyday.

I’ve been going to the gym everyday for awhile, but I still eat like complete garbage. The results from the gym as you might assume were negligible. There was a time a couple of weeks ago when I realized that my last 11 meals had involved bacon in some way.

So I decided to do something about it. The one thing I haven’t been able to give up is my solo venti white mocha frappuccino. Although I do get it without the whip. The only whip cream I plan on ingesting in the foreseeable future will be sex related.

Things have been going good on the diet. Then today I was just minding my business trolling for news on the Palm Beach Post’s website when I came across a very enticing article entitled “New KFC “Double Down” Dumps the Bun”. My mouth instantly began to salivate.

The KFC Double Down is said to consist of “two chicken fillets hugging cheeses, bacon and sauce, sans the bun”. What were talking here is two slices of bacon, melted swiss cheese, melted pepper jack cheese, and the secret “Colonel’s Sauce” with two original recipe chicken fillets as bread.  That just sounds awesome to me, like something I would create on my own back in my pothead days. I especially love how they use the word “hugging” in the description, it really shows the love between the outer chicken and the inside goodness.

It said that KFC has yet to release the actual nutritional values on this lovely behemoth yet. I’m sure that information is still being processed by their team of nutritional experts. Its not like they have spin artists spending endless nights trying to come up with some way that this ridiculous thing could be less than a heart attack waiting to happen. Good luck to these poor gentleman.

KFCAccording to Huffington Post, officials at KFC have told them that the sandwich should weight in at roughly 600 calories. Hell yeah, I think, that’s not too bad for a little bit of the greasy goodness. Unfortunately I tend to think that the Vancouver Sun estimate of 1,228 calories is much closer to the truth.

I’m happy to say I didn’t run out on an instant search for this fabulous product. I managed to show some restraint. From some further research I’ve found out that as of now the Double Down is only being tested in select states. I hope this is one of them, cause I do plan on enjoying it at least once. That would probably be end up being twice, because that just looks like the type of thing that will heat up late night in the microwave even better than the original. The problem is that if I get it in my mind that I’m going to have one, and then Florida doesn’t have it. The situation will not end there, it never does. Georgia your up next!
