My vegan gf showed me this a month ago. It's the first thing to ever make me gag from terror/disgust.

A fast food thread, wade? Why don't you provide us with an ill-informed definition of hipster while you're at it.

I'll be unveiling my 300 page Hipster thesis in "What is a hipster?" anniversary thread #175.

As for the DOUBLE DOWN, I think it's an exciting day because we've finally gotten something comparable to the GOOD MORNING BURGER.

I WAS going to hit up the gym today. However, now that you mention it...

No, never. Not in a million years. Not if it was the last sandwich on Earth.

If there's no bread on top and bottom, its no sandwich.
Also, that should be called the KFC "Fuck you PETA" special.
It probably cleans your intestines faster and more throughly than drinking a cup of drain cleaner.

Is it available as part of a combo with 2 sides? I'd like to jam some potato wedges and BBQ baked beans in between the fillets.

I'm with you. It's too ludicrous to not try at least once. Sadly I don't think it's available in my area.

I still think they should have named it the Cock Block.

KFC's extreme laziness has been making me lol lately. First they made a big deal out of their new "hunk of fried chicken shoved into french fry sleeve" and now this.

I ate one yesterday, so apparently some KFC's broke embargo.

It's not bad but not mind-blowing. The idea of chicken replacing bread is a funny novelty, but it's not the Skip Scrambler.

Nutrionally speaking, it's only slightly worse than the Big Mac.

Yeah no kidding, it's nothing but dead chicken, dead pig and the byproduct of dead cow. Appetizing...

It's "only" 580 calories, which hardly qualifies it for food porn, really. Hell it's one of the healthier options on the fast food menu, relatively speaking. Very relatively speaking.

That said, I'm pretty sure KFC has an ongoing agreement with Patton Oswalt, at this point.

I will give it this: it looks like some sort of concoction I'd come up with when really trashed. In that sense, it calls to some part of me. The drunken, carnivorous part.

I would like to thank everyone for not referring to that as a "muthafuckin miracle".
Im scared of how they are going to top that.
Maybe just a big bucket of BBQ sauce, throw some fried chicken in it, and just call it "bobbing for fillets".

Well, there's pepper in the cheese, right? That's about 100% more non-potato vegetable than in virtually everything else they serve.

I'm waiting for the burger-oriented response to this. You know it has to be coming.

Had one of these yesterday to soak up the last remnants of the previous night's drinking. I happily put it in the Pretty Fuckin' Tasty category.

They were testing these out in the Omaha market around a year ago. I don't know a single person that actually bought one of them. I would expect that the Double Down will drop off the menu in a relatively short amount of time.

Two pieces of fried chicken with cheese on top? This is served nightly in millions of American households. For the kids, it's adorable little pieces of star shaped chicken balls with kraft on top. This isn't so revolutionary.

Wake me up when they figure out how to put this in a milkshake, AND help me to lose weight while drinking it.

Wow. I expected it be double that. I may actually try this. All the ingredients separately are delicious. I can only imagine them together.

I'm beginning to suspect that KFC hired a family of Hutts to put together their new menu items.

I'm looking forward to getting one of these after I go to the Cubs game on Wednesday. It reminds me of the McGriddle, which I had once and decided to never make that mistake again. The same thing will probably happen with this, but I'd never forgive myself if I didn't try this before I die. Which may happen soon judging by my eating habits.

Open it up, put it on a plate and spread the bacon and cheese over both pieces. Now put fries and slaw next to it, and you have a menu item at Chilis, TGIFridays, Applebees, Perkins, Dennys....
I'm not saying that makes it healthy, I'm saying it's pretty common, KFC is just asking you to pick it up.

Ha! It does look worse than it is, but like I said earlier, all the components are pretty delicious so I can't imagine this tasting terrible. Though, does the DD have mayo? Because that may be the deal breaker for me.

WTF is that shit? KFC should stick to what it knows - deep fried non-edible animal parts covered in lard. No self respecting vegan would ever go to KFC to eat. Who are they kidding?

Their attempts at creating a veggie friendly alternative were funny. It was this attempt to pacify the whiners, while not really getting what they were bitching about.

There's a weird transition when something is converted to sandwich form. My friend reviews lunch carts in Portland and she tells the story of this guy who sells rib sandwiches. The sandwich is basically one big rib (bone in) in a bun for $3. Seems like a good deal. But I would be incredibly unlikely to pay $3 for a rib without a bun.

Same deal here... it's the principle of the thing. This is a sandwich that should not be.

Well maybe horrendously filthy shit like this is the height of haute cuisine in Kentucky, but some of us have access to, ya know, good food.

No. I just threw down a few dollars and ate food.

I didn't check with the Aussie Embassy about what I was going to eat. Next time, I'll call ahead. Hopefully, everyone will be ok with my fast food choices. Then, we can work on getting rid of nukes.

Then, the world will be like Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. I'll even let you have first crack at Mariel Hemingway. I'm a gentleman like that.

I'll let you continue to exist. Say HI to Cleo for me. She never sent me that pricelist.

I always preferred Mariel because of Star 80 and that Playboy spread. She seemed like she was easier to corrupt. Plus, she's still alive.
