@hungryhomer: Word. I love KFC, but this thing makes my heart feel a tinge of pain. In other words, it doesn't even remotely look appetizing. Their \"bowl\" of crap that they began selling a while back does the same thing to my stomach. And there aren't too many things that I won't try at least once. I'll stick to the grilled chicken or the original recipe.

@CompyPaq: Wow, so many of you guys are just flat out wrong it's upsetting. I'm a certified personal trainer and I have clients that weigh/have weighed upwards of 275 pounds.

Carbs are fine and should be eaten as part of a healthy diet, even in a weight loss program. What is not fine are things like high fructose corn syrup and the 80 grams of saturated fat that is in a sandwich like this. Also, fried greasy foods tend to be significantly higher in calories right off the get go so while it might not seem like it, you are actually consuming more food, making you fatter, and maybe dumber. So, no it's not better for you if you lose the bun, eat right and work out for a change and stop being a lazy piece of crap.

The problem with the low carb and incidentally the atkins diet, are you ready for it, is that it DOES work. That's right I said it, it does work. It works for \"losing weight\". That is the deceiving part, unfortunately it does not make you any healthier, in fact it's a form of starvation called ketosis. Long story short ketosis burns of fat but conditions it so store it later because your crash diet is sending it into shock. As soon as you start eating carbs again you will blow up like a blimp because the body has now trained itself to believe that it is starving. That forced you to believe that the atkins diet was working... right? WRONG. It's like nicotine and it will lead you nowhere. Even if you can manage ketosis long enough to become skinny you won't look healthy, you will look starved like someone in a third world country that can't afford to eat things. By, then all of your muscle would have melted away. Congrats, you're a genius.

@brasilspeed: So do you have your masters in Dietetics? Do you have your MD, DO or PhD? Neither? Do you even have a BS? Let me guess, you learned all about carbohydrates and weight management in either week one or week two of your demanding \"certification\" program?


To quote you, \"(c)ongrats, you're a genius.\" Stick to telling people that can't figure out how to lift weights the difference between a Smith machine and a squat rack. Leave the rest to the pros, unless you're willing to get a real education.

@CompyPaq: er...no. Carbs are bad if you're trying to lose weight, but if you're worried about health, stuff like saturated and unsaturated fats and lots of salt are bad. Also, meat contains calories too, just like bread. Carbohydrates aren't the best thing ever, but they aren't intrinsically unhealthy, unlike something fatty that's been fried in oil.

If the breasts were not breaded, at least it'd be low carb. KFC couldn't even get that right.

Still, I'd probably try one if my area had a convenient KFC around. For the same reason I tried a deep friend burger from Joe's Gizzard City. Just to say I did.

Wake up people. It's not just what is being eaten. It's the inherent laziness of too many people.


Oh, and for the record.. This weekend, I will fry up some chicken filets, add some cheese and bacon, and a home made honey mustard sauce. $5...HAH!!! I'll make a better one for $4. Thanks for the idea KFC.

@chaoss13: How many calories do you eat in one day, and how long do you exercise? Even fairly vigorous exercise can only burn so many calories, especially if you don't do it all day long.

Hour of vigorous exercise = 700-ish calories. That just isn't that much, especially if you \"eat like a 300-400lb man.\" Yes, backpackers or ultra-distance runners can burn through an astounding number of calories in a single day, but mere mortals with a desk job can only burn off so much food, given a limited amount of time.

In addition, you can be serious about exercise, be fit, and still weigh more than you should, and be on the fast track to a coronary.

@chaoss13: I agree with you, most people just don't seem to care. It was just by saying \"eat like a 300-400Lb.man\" I imagined tons of fast food, fried stuffz and cheesecake.

@calquist: Nah...I'm talking pure quantity. Then again, I do enjoy the occassional fried treat. Maybe I should have said \"as much as\". \"like\" does make it seem like I eat garbage, lol.


Definitely not tons of fast food. Hell, not even frequent fast food. Maybe once in a 3 week span I'll go fast food.


I can only hope to keep my kids as active as the example I am trying to set.

I give you the \"Double Coronary Burger\" from The Vortex in Atlanta:

A half-pound beef patty topped with two fried eggs, four slices of American cheese, and five slices of bacon, with two grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun.

This reminds me of the editorial I read in the WSJ yesterday from a seasoned anesthesiologist. He ended his piece by stating one of the problems with being an anesthesiologist these days is Americans are \"too fat\" which makes insertion of needles and tubes more complicated and death a higher probability. After seeing this sandwich I can't imagine why Americans are obese!

Could be worse... they could be trying to sell Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwiches.

(For those that have been fortunate enough not to see them at your local fair, it's a breaded chicken patty topped with swiss cheese and placed inside a jelly-filled Krispy Kreme doughnut. Ughhhhhhhh....)

Cut a Krispy Kreme in half and use that for the bread, one piece on top and one below.

And THEN you have something.

Almost like chicken and waffles.

That creepy British guy that owns the joint (from the commercials) is coming up with some amazing and crazy stuff. Imagine a world where you don't feel the urge to become a bulimic because you want some tasty juicy kentucky fried chicken (with the skin of course).

You want it, you eat it! (you can't afford health insurance anyway) Still...the kentucky grilled chicken is really good too.

I guess I live in the right(?) geographic area -- we have been inundated with commercials for this sandwich. They're cute commercials too. I do have to admit that I tried one and it was decadently wonderful. I didn't care for the sauce, but I don't like sauce anyway. They were selling a ton of them the day I was there with my son, too.

Wasn't it the Earl of Sandwich who accidently invented the sandwich by placing meat between the two pieces of bread while he was playing cards (at least from one story I thought I heard on FoodTV). So, would that make the inventor of the KFC Double Down the Earl of Chicken? Duke of Chicken?

Thank you KFC this is one great invention. It looks and probably tastes delicious and as an added bonus you get to enjoy the scorn from the whole PC crowd who are still trying to ban peanut butter from schools and to force enveryone onto treadmills.


I just called my local KFC and it's comming here Sept 8th to Edmonton,Alberta,Canada So us Canadians won't miss out.


The double down could possibly be the greatest invention since sliced bread!
