Double Me Down!

I'll take two.

Today, KFC has changed the face of food as we know it.  For too long, the sandwich has been dominated by some sort of grain, but no longer are sandwiches to be oppressed by two slices of bread.  On this fine day of April 12th, 2010, the sandwich has been liberated and that liberator is KFC’s Double Down.

The Double Down is an ingenious creation consisting of bacon and cheese with a piece of fried chicken on each side.  Best of all, they aren’t even trying to throw lettuce or tomatoes or any of those other vegetable sandwich killers in it.  So has anyone had it?  If you have, let me know, because I am certainly looking forward to the next time I drive by a KFC.

    very hard to get used to the “no bun” thing. After about 5 seconds, that doesn’t matter anymore. Tastes pretty good. You can finally taste what everything is supposed to taste like without any sort of bread product getting in the way. Not as good as advertised but few things in life ever are. Worth a try.

Going Global at Plan Check

Fries of the world.

A couple of weeks ago, The Backyard Bite invited me to The Burger Culture Clash, sponsored by Stussy (which apparently still exists) and Plan Check.

As my love of burgers, especially those of the umami variety, I jumped at the opportunity.

Although I arrived alone, I was not the only lone eater. Just next to where I was seated, I met e*star LA and we decided to share a meal called loneliness, because it’s better than eating alone. We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
