The Double Down Sandwich

After reading through dozens of news articles and facebook status updates about this sandwich.. I had to try it for myself and see if this was just a bunch of hooplah. 

Of course I could have never done this while thinking straight... this was the result of seemed like a brilliant idea after 3 hours of endless margaritas and a giant burrito.  I head over with a few friends to the nearby KFC and I order the $6 sandwich (muy expensivo no?).  With whatever sense I had left, I decided to split the sandwich in half with my friend in order to save on the calories.  I take my first bite and the first words that come out of my mouth.. its chicken!  Not only do I say this once.. but over and over again as I continue to plow through this sandwich.  You see... this sandwich was so built up in my head that I had imagined for it to taste somewhat magical.. mysterious.. something I've never had before.. but in reality.. it is exactly what you see above.. boneless fried chicken.  2 pieces actually with 2 slices of un-melted cheese and the saddest 2 slices of bacon Ive ever seen.  As I finish the sandwich my friend Jess asks me.. "was it worth it?"  Well.. I'm not sure if I've ever been as fascinated and curious about fast food in my life.. and if this sandwich can drive the other restaurant chains to experiment and deliver creative fast food concoctions then.. Yes.. it was worth it.  Will I have it again?  Probably not.  But how often can you have a meal at a fast food restaurant and then tell a story about it?  Kudos to you Colonel for providing a little excitement in all of our lives.
