'This is perhaps man's greatest achievement or evidence of our civilization's impending doom. Maybe it's both.

Meet the KFC "double down." Although no mention of it is made on KFC.com and we have never seen an ad for it ourselves, we are being lead to believe that it is real by Foodgeekery.com. They have crappy cell phone camera footage of a commercial (from Omaha, apparently) for the mysterious beast, as well as photographic evidence of it in the wild.

The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel's sauce. It apparently tastes like you think it would.'

Inside a pitta bread with some chilli sauce and that's a winner.

Good news for people with coeliac disease if there's no bread.

I'm in Texas too. I haven't seen it or heard of it either (except on this forum). Not that I'm at KFC all the time. It could be in other areas since a lot of the fast food places do have some foods only in certain areas.

Their grilled chicken is much better than I thought it would be. I actually like it a lot.

This "sandwich" is kind of is like a deconstructed Chicken Cordon Bleu in a way I guess.

Im sorry to hear that. No, seriously I love Texas (especially since summers nearly over), and Texans even more.

Really? I cant bring myself to try it - just seems too "wrong".

Mmmmmm. All this KFC talk means Im going to have to go out now and buy some for lunch now. Fried, of course.

Me neither. We should start a club .

I've never had a burger either. They just don't look very pleasant.

OK, McDonalds I wil give you.

But an organic Kobe Beef burger topped with brie on a brioche bun (yes I eat in some poncy places)?

A good burger is fantastic. It doesnt even need to be as fancy as my ridiculous (but delicious) example above.

Its just a ground up steak sandwich.

I really didn't like the Grilled Chicken when I tasted it (KFC was one of the places to eat on my list when I visited NYC earlier this year, the Mashed potato really needs to be introduced over here, as do the amazing Buttermilk Biscuits they worked so much better with the fried chicken than the boring chips we get over here) it seemed dry and not nearly as tasty as the fried chicken to me.

The Double Down Burger sounds amazing though, although would be a bit greasey I reckon, would need to eat it like a twister probably.

How ethical of them to be doing their bit for overpopulation.
