While at dinner last week with a fellow vegetarian (who is not nearly as bad as I am), I mentioned that I was curious about trying the above. She gave me a look as if it were made of babies.
Quickly, I came to my senses, but then while having lunch with a friend on Saturday, I mentioned it again, and he said, "Oh! Me too!" with a gleeful yet naughty look on his face.
I haven't tried it yet, and the likelihood that I will actually eat it is almost nil, but I am impressed by it. Something that is so bad for you has started conversations about well...American obesity in a way that Jamie Oliver is jealous of.
There are reviews popping up today (and yesterday) about people who tried this monstrosity.
Here are my two favorites:
The Awl: The Definitive Review
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me: We Eat The KFC Double Down and Live to Tell About It (But it's only been 15 minutes)
Clean Plate Charlie: "I Ate the KFC Double Down" and 25 Other Reasons to Hate Myself.
