Nice.  Cheese is closer to being meat than bread. 

I want one.

Make sure you have someone CPR-qualified to hit you with the portable defib.  Have the patches on and probes attached to, just so you'll be ready.

luckily for me, I actually HAVE a defibrillator...  :-)

Doctors group attacks KFC's newest product

Quote
A physician group isn't chicken when it comes to fighting the latest high-fat fast-food offering.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is confronting KFC over its high-fat Double Down sandwich, urging the company to keep ads away from kids.

In a letter to the CEO of KFC parent Yum Brands, the group urged the fast-food chain to voluntarily adopt federal advertising restrictions forced on tobacco companies and not advertise the new product -- bacon and cheese sandwiched between a pair of fried chicken filets -- within 500 yards of a school, events attended by kids, outdoors or on transit vehicles.

The sandwich has 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of sodium.

"Kids shouldn't be exposed to such recklessness," said Susan Levin, the group's director of nutrition education. "Just as many young people don't understand the risks of tobacco, they often do not realize that high-fat, meat-heavy meals greatly increase the risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and some types of cancer."

KFC says it doesn't advertise to children under 12.

"We also understand the importance of offering our consumers nutritious alternatives that complement our traditional menu choices," KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow said.

They're comparing this sandwich to tobacco. :banghead: :whatever:

Since nobody has popped in with this, let me be the first.

I had one tonight.  And God help me, it was wonderful.  I feel so guilty, yet so satisfied.

So what if I have to do an extra 4 hours on the elliptical tomorrow.  I can now die a happy man, having tasted the ambrosia of fried goodness that is the Double Down.

Nice.  I figured it had to be good since so many people were talking about it.

You can get it with the grilled breasts instead of breaded.  I am iffy about trying one.  It looks just too good that it must be bad for me.   :tongue:

Thanks for the review  :-*  Is it something you will re-order regularly?  How about the portion size - it looks so big - could two people with smaller appetites split it, do ya think?  It seems that advertising is marketing it to men, don't ya think?

I'm going to have time to grab some lunch before I hit the golf course today.  Thinking this might be on my menu.  I'll keep my blood pressure medication handy, though.

According to KFC, the Original Recipe Double Down has 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium.

With just a quick peek at the websites for Burger King, McDonald's and Wendy's, I had no trouble finding 10 items with higher calorie and fat (and in almost all cases, sodium) counts than the Double Down.

Burger King Triple Whopper:
1160 calories
76g fat
1170mg sodium

Burger King Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich:
800 cals
46g fat
1640mg sodium

Wendy's Baconator Double:
980 cals
62g fat
1740mg sodium
http://consumerist.com/2010/04/10-fast-food-items-worse-for-you-than-the-kfc-double-down.html

McDonald's is relatively healthy.  Who knew?

They didn't include breakfast items on their comparison.  Boo.

What you’ve got here is one tasty mother of a sandwich that starts with a half Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut, extra Colonel’s Sauce (gotta get in those added calories where you can), fried chicken breast, Colonel’s Sauce, cheese slice, bacon, cheese slice, fried chicken breast and other half doughtnut.

What you end up with is over 900 calories of tongue flipping delight. This thing will not only supply you with enough calories, sodium, sugar and fat for a good part of your day it will keep you up and running for a bit. The inevitable afternoon crash was not the best though…as there is now a brick in the belly. I do highly recommend you give this a shot though. I know it sounds far fetched but it’s actually quite delicious.

That looks gross to me....toooooooo much stuff.

Have you seen Paula Deen's recipe for bread pudding made with Krispy Kremes? OMG!!! Google it. If you have a super KK affinity, it's probably delicious.
