I don't get the craziness over the KFC Double Down.

McD and BK have much worse sandwiches.

KFC Original Recipe® Double Down 540 calories 32g fat 1380mg sodium

Burger King Steakhouse XT Burger 770 calories 46g fat 1380mg sodium

McDonald's Angus Bacon & Cheese 790 calories 39g fat 2070mg sodium

except chicken cordon bleu is IIRC first stuffed (in one pounded breast only) before it's sauteed. Beats chicken stuffed with haggis, which I kept seeing on menus during a recent trip to Scotland. (Not that haggis is necessarily bad, this just sounded excessive)

just a fucking mess to eat- I won't be getting another unless they serve it on some proper dining ware :rofl:

This is the latest one.

The freakouts on DU about this aren't exactly entirely the media's fault.

I think it sounds good.

it seems some don't realize that availability does not require you to buy it or eat it.

Don't take away anyone's freedom of choice! Unless it's in regard to take-out "food," smoking, driving a Hummer, eating meat, etc., then you will be told what to do in no uncertain terms! And told what assholery it is to disagree!

:rofl:

I already have the freedom to NOT buy this latest outrage... I thank my mother for teaching me about advertising before I started school.

:rofl:

Extra points if you eat it while sitting in a Suburban out in front of The Olive Garden!

Hahaha! I have this awesome mental image:)

in front of the olive garden...BREAST FEEDING!!! :rofl:

:rofl:

All the vegan threads where we're told HUMANS ARE NOT BUILT TO EAT MEAT OR DAIRY PRODUCTS, MAN or threads that are outlets for more outrage about the latest thing from the fast food industry...if you don't like it, DON'T EAT IT. That's the wonderful thing about this country--you have a choice.

It's all about FREEDOM of choice! I don't want ANYONE telling me what I can eat, drink, smoke, read, etc., and especially not condescending, self-righteous, alleged progressives and Democrats who should know better!

If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry a gay!

If you don't like abortion, don't have one!

If you don't like religion, stay out of churches!

If you don't like "illegal aliens," don't hire any!

If you don't like to pay your taxes, stay off the roads, dig your own water well, don't call the cops or the fire department!

I could go on... but you know...

Personally I find smoking to be disgusting, and say so, but I don't think that somehow gives me the moral platform to force others not to do it unless it's affecting me.

I don't know about anyone else here, but I for one believe in living in a free country. One where, as long as you're not harming anyone else, you can do what the fuck you like, including eating fast food, getting drunk, getting high, marrying a woman, marrying a man, marrying a man AND a woman, owning a gun, painting your house in pink polka dots, and commuting to work on anything from a horse to an Abrams tank.

Though not all at once, because that would be kind of dangerous.

As long as it's only dangerous to the guy doing all that:)

I'm the worst former smoker you could ever meet... but if you want to do it, knock yourself out.

Live and let live... seems we've lost that basic thought somewhere along the way... I always thought that simple phrase was the root of all happiness. We have enough to worry about with people hurting other people... people have the right to hurt themselves.

When I see tons and tons of people vote in a DU poll that smoking should be illegal. REALLY? Illegal? And then they go on and on about how it should be banned and smokers should be executed and etc...


It's really surprising to see such an authoritarian view on a place like this. An amazing proportion would vote that Marijuana and most other drugs should be legalized but Tobacco? Oh fuck no PUNISHABLE BY DEATH PENALTY!!!!!!!



This makes makes no sense sometimes.

Seems exceedingly hypocritical to me.

And there is no such thing as second-hand eating.

The toxins that industrial "foods" create certainly foul the environment and cause illnesses and deaths for those who have to live in it. That pretty much means all of us whether we eat industrial food or not.

Like lead paint, people could choose to not use it but, use it or not, the by product of its manufacturing became a major contaminate and, even though it has been banned for decades, it still causes adverse health issues.

Let'em smoke and/or eat themselves to death if they so choose.

:puke:

and I didn't even eat that much FF - the weight started fall off and it gave me the incentive to do more. It's been 15 years since I've eaten a burger from a FF joint. Worst than their food, is the mega size drinks of High Fructose Corn Syrup in hard-to-recycle cups.

Once you get that gunk out of your system, you won't want to go back.

Good luck.

and read Fast Food Nation. I watched the movie (and read FFN after seeing the author interviewed on the DVD extras) and stopped eating fast food after that. The Fast Food Nation movie was bad though, I would not recommend it.

Haven't seen Fast Food Nation yet.

and have lost 26 pounds.

Gotta have a little grease fix once in a while.

I haven't eaten anything from KFC in at least 10 years. I quit JitB, McD's, BK, Wendy's, etc. after a bad food poisoning incident involving an undercooked Jumbo Jack.

Never again, unless I get stuck in a situation where I must have food and have no alternative.

Is someone going to take away my membership now?

either way, at least they media is discussing how unhealthy these mega-calorie items are and pointing out how unhealthy these items are.

It's like cutting out the bread because it's not greasy/caloric enough...

An off the shelf hamburger bun like the ones I use when I make burgers contains 400 calories. The entire "Double Down" has only 540 calories.

Not by much as I am sure it has HFCS...cuz when I think bread...I think SWEET.

Seriously, does no one here bake besides me?

Look at any storebought bread (save the artisan types and Trader Joes)...HFCS is in the bread.

Bleached flour = bad.

Processed white bread is OK, breaded chicken and bacon is evil. :eyes:

Ew, the bun is MEAT??? OMG NASTIEST THING EVER OMG OMG FLAIL SPASM!!!!!!!

I don't think anyone sane would suggest making the "Double Down" a part of your regular diet, but I really don't see how this is any worse than the occasional Big Mac or Whopper or whatever. None of them are going to kill you in moderation. Get a frakking grip, people.

But fried hormine enriched meat is just as bad.

Get your facts in order.

You can't give hormones (but can give antibiotics) to chickens destined for human consumption. You *can* feed them on ground up parts of animals that have been fed those hormones.

n/t

As was already said above, no such thing as bad publicity.

I think the original use of the gag was the old major in a daily strip. The one with Milo was a Sunday strip. He orders a Whopper, hold the bun. The clerk says, "ya can't have it without the bun" and Milo goes on a rant - "It says 'have it your way'", "BY GOD LET REAGAN BE REAGAN!". The clerk hands over a dripping bag, "one Whopper, sans bun". Milo replies, "milkshake, hold the cup".

Had forgotten all about it until you posted this. Miss me some Bloom County. Thanks for the memory! :)

The current week is where Oliver hacks into Pravda and gets the translation wrong (you can back up two days to start the strip - it doesn't coincide with the weekdays/Sunday.

Volume 2 is coming out in April. Cannot WAIT!

The King of all Fast Food Meals!

IMHO.

:puke:

no bread. well, there's breadING on the "chicken".

look at all that freakin sodium, though!

either way, i'll never eat it so i'm not going to sully my beautiful mind by dwelling on it.

And, really, as fast food goes, the grilled version is relatively healthy. I mean, it's going to be hormone- and antibiotic-fed chicken and bacon, but like I said, as fast food goes.

in the United States it is illegal to use hormones or antibiotics when raising poultry for human consumption.

Most chickens get antibiotics in the USA. That's why others are labeled as "antibiotic-free" even when they aren't really.

and I loved it! :P

is that a tombstoning offense?

:hide:

You'll just get tied to the DU whipping post... any guitar man worth his salt should be able to handle that;)

like I've been tied, to the Whippin Post! :rofl:

actually, my band does a really good Whippin Post cover if I do say so myself :D

:yoiks:

It's actually pretty good. Not something I'd eat all the time, but I rather enjoyed it :evilgrin:

:hi:

I've been eating a lot healthier lately but ever so often I have to have something that is just off the hook greasy :P

That's what it boils down to.

The fast food/processed food industries are doing unfathomable harm to the health of the nation, which is affecting so many things. It's a public health crisis and millions are dying from it.

Just curious.

It is entirely possible to eat healthy, even on a budget. I eat fast food from time to time but understand that it is a indulgence and don't do it often. The fast food industry is not to blame for individual's health problems that stem from stuffing themselves full of junk/snack food. Demand regulates the market. If there weren't people eating half-pound bacon cheeseburgers there wouldn't be a market for them and they'd go away.

You can't make people be healthy.

Some people truly don't realize they are probably taking in two to three times the amount of calories and fat that they should eat in a day in one meal or even part of a meal.

But you seem to object to them even being informed about the food, implying that that's meddling.

And every fast food place I've eaten at has had food information, including calorie count and fat percentages posted in an obvious location, usually at or near the main entrance. All of them have had this information available to hand to customers as well (I ask, because I'm interested).

I have, at no point, given any indication that I'd object to them being informed. In fact, I'm very much in support of that, so I don't have a clue what gives you the idea that I wouldn't want that to happen (other than a fallacious attempt to discredit my argument...)

If people truly don't realize it they are taking in a massive amount of calories and fat in a triple cheeseburger - especially considering the ease of finding out this information that is often posted at eye level and has received near constant media attention for the better part of a decade - I have very little issue with their early exit from the gene pool.

Usually on the wall where you queue up to order you can find a poster with all the nutritional info.

people in general just don't give a rats ass about it.

Haven't seen anybody here advocating "making people be healthy." I saw a lot good-humored mockery of yet another hyperbolically disgusting fast food product, followed by a lot of grim, serious, highly offended rhetoric about "food nazis."

Making disgusting food for Americans to hork down from drive-through windows is a time-honored tradition. So is making fun of the latest abominable creations from these joints. Why is it suddenly not okay to do that? Do the King and the Colonel need protection from anti-crap food "bigotry?"

It's just bizarre to see people not willing to tolerate mockery of awful fast food on ... what? Ideological grounds? It's ugly, it tastes bad, it's not good for you, and in most cases, it's marketed not as "an occasional treat," but as an amazing taste sensation for just $3.99. Maybe if public tastes changed, they'd make something better. Maybe part of public tastes changing is people laughing at these products, rather than eating them.

Losing a sense of humor about a thing is often the first sign of having lost perspective.


:crazy:

PEOPLE who CHOOSE to OVERINDULGE in that stuff are doing themselves harm

first of all, many fast food restaurants have some quite healthy choices IF you choose them

wendy's chili is good

so is jack in the box's fajita pita

regardless, no fast food restaurant forces anybody to eat that stuff

with choice, comes responsibility

i eat fast food on occasion, and my health is great. i don't make it a staple. it's a treat

and fwiw, if you went to a fancy restaurant and ate pate, any given meal with beurre blanc, and fettucine alfredo, you'd get hella fat too.

mod-ER-A-TION

People are dying from TOO MUCH FOOD, which is a completely separate issue. The Double Down is fine; building your whole diet around stuff like that isn't. It's the folks that eat like that all day who are dying from it.

Calories 1320
Calories from fat 860
Fat 95g
Saturated Fat 36g
Sodium 3020 mg

If you eat that shit, hey, enjoy the obesity, heart attacks, strokes and early death.

Eating it once every six months won't either. It's what you eat 90% of the time that matters.

that eats fast food every day, or nearly every day.

You can't fix stupid.

If they weren't shoving Double Downs into their gullet with both swollen, grease-encrusted hands they'd be doing something else just as dietarily destructive. It's not like most people make healthy food at home, either.

So, maybe you could lighten up a little bit.

Eating a few of these sandwiches is not likely to obesity, heart attack, stroke, etc.

in a more healthy manner.

:)

:rofl:

Get rid of everything but one slice of chicken. Cut it in half, and make a sandwich with whole grain bread from one half slice of chicken.

Almost.

I hear that joke a lot and I'm not sure what people are getting at. Nobody says that about bleached flour and sugar, even though that's a much bigger problem.

:crazy:

K&R

The worst part about the Double Down is that it's fried in hydrogenated oil rather than lard.

So I don't know what they fry it in at the KFC at 14th/2nd, but I presume it's the same kind of thing McDonald's fries their fries in.

To echo another comment, this actually sounds tasty to me. :evilgrin:

People are better off with a little butter, lard, or olive oil than hydrogenated junk. We need some fat in our diets, and it should be natural fat.

Hydrogenation turns liquid fat solid. These days, a LOT of commercial frying operations (like KFC) use liquid oil because you pour it into the frying chamber and light the fryer's burner--there's no downtime waiting for the grease to melt!

The guy at the drive-thru said that the owner chose not to "participate" in it, and they had gotten complaints about them not having it. I was pissed, I wanted to try one! Hopefully the owner changes his mind and decides to carry it.

A bad sandwich at least appears to be *trying* to be food of some sort. Peel off the cheese, the sauce, and 3/4 of the meat, and you might actually have someting. There ARE good sandwiches in the world.

Bacon and cheese between slabs of fried chicken, on the other hand, is a whole new paradigm of badness. There's no making it okay. It's like the Terminator or Beavis and Butthead's bowling ball: It doesn't feel pity, or fear. It cannot be bargained or reasoned with. It has come to destroy America, and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until we are dead!

:)

And I don't think I've seen a photograph of any kind of purported food lately that struck me as so immediately ... repellant. It's like a parody of bad food.

Blech.

I'm starting to think the wheat lobby has brainwashed everyone into thinking you need starch in every meal.

Not to mention the pointlessness of the comparison. Chicken Cordon Bleu doesn't exactly earn a gold seal in the "healthy" or "appetizing" departments either.

It's not the lack of starch. It's the giant slabs of fried chicken with bacon and cheese and sauce. It's a nauseating mess.

Sometimes I wonder if the "contrarian lobby" has brainwashed everyone into arguing about things so reflexively that someone would try to defend the nutritional and aesthetic appeal of a KFC fried chicken 'n bacon sandwich.


:rofl:

But, yes, it's a dumbed-down version of chicken cordon bleu, which is itself a dumbed-down version of chicken kiev. Substitute bacon for prosciutto and processed non-dairy cheese-food spread for gruyere.

And you don't have to have the fried version; there's a grilled version too.

Frying is cheap, quick, and hides a multitude of sins in the underlying food. Bacon adds a savory "flavor" to just about anything. Ditto cheese.

Reminds me of a kayak guide we went out with to watch a Shuttle launch from Mosquito Lagoon. He picked up a horsehoe crab from the tidal flat somewhere and told us he had a great recipe for grilling them. "Oh -- they really taste great. Just wrap 'em in cheese and bacon." Translation: "They taste like old tires. But you'll never know that, if you wrap them in cheese and bacon."

:D

"If the first two ingredients are bacon grease and cayenne, the third ingredient could be horseshit and I wouldn't care"

In fact, nobody is being forced to eat it, if you don't think it's appealing, don't buy it.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

With bun, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cucumbers (instead of pickles), and ketchup and mustard I estimate the following:

(per homemade burger approx 3 ounces of beef)

300 calories
8 grams of fat (5.5 grams from beef, 2 grams from bun, 0.5 from other)
75 mg of cholesterol
550 mg of sodium (60 from the beef, 190 from the ketchup, 60 from the mustard, 200 from bun, and 40 from other)
28 grams of protein (22.5 grams from the beef, 4 grams from the bun, and about 1.5 from other)
25 grams of carbs (20+ grams from the bun, about 3 grams from the beef)


So, my homemade burgers are typically half the calories, one-fourth the fat, and half the sodium as fast-food burgers.

"Off to The Greatest with You!" ...as the saying around here goes

They're all pretty disgusting.

:hide:

:rofl:

Made it even LESS appealing to me!

If you don't like it, don't bloody eat it. I hate that on this board, liberalism is associated with this holier-than-thou attitude about food. It's a matter of personal choice and plain common sense.

Seriously. Now it's *fascist* to talk about bad fast food? Now, maybe talking about burning KFC to the ground to stop this wreteched gastric afterbirth might be, but who's doing that? Pointing out how gross a fried chicken, bacon, and cheese sandwich is and laughing about it seems pretty democratic.

Moreover, there is, actually, something seriously wrong with American fast food and fast food marketing. The notion that you're going to try to sell a 1,300 calorie burger or a fried chicken and bacon sandwich or a bag of peanut-oil fries to people who are too busy working or just too poor get decent food is, at best, unwise, and has gotten so extreme that it seems at times malicious.

You can blame America's obsese for their own lifestyles, but how is this type of thing NOT pouring gasoline on a cholesterol-fueled fire? It's not even reasonable to question this endless stream of horrible offerings? It's not, "fair" somehow to ridicule restaurants for producing this glop, as well as ourselves for consuming it? This kind of notion of "food" is not a bad idea?

Or somehow we're not allowed to point out what a bad idea it is and everyone must shut up about it? Who's the "nazi" again?

....stick around and you will see the 'food-smoking-HFCS-etc Nazis' come into play.

Seriously though...sometimes it is insane that on a progressive board, there is soooo much anger towards people that do things that others do not agree with - such as eat meat (or not eat meat...lol), smoke, own guns or drive SUVs.

Sounds like people becoming what they've beheld. If the point is to be the more thoughtful and the more reasonable, you can't eviscerate people in anticipation (or remembrance) of their going off the deep end at some point.

One of the MOST reasonable and intelligent tacts, in my opinion, is to make a point of agreeing with someone expressing a reasonable version of something you object to when it's taken to extremes.

Still a ridiculous, disgusting sandwich. I mock it heartily while not calling for the immediate court martial of The Colonel.


:D

I'm not interested in an extended back and forth over this but...

-Food nazi is a commonly used term and doesn't actually mean that someone has fascistic tendencies:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=food%20nazi

-I didn't say people don't have right to complain about the sandwich. They have the right to complain...just as I have the complain about them complaining. I was also saying that there's an undercurrent of food puritanism on this board that associates one's political leanings with what you eat.

-Gross is in the eye of the beholder. I would agree that the Double Down is a bit...ridiculous, but the thing is no more unhealthy than a Big Mac.

-As for people being too busy or too poor to realize that a sandwich with fried chicken for a bun and cheese, lard (special sauce), and bacon as a filling is bad for them... Um...

And, it does. If it's a big seller for KFC, good for them. I don't want to ban the "sandwich." I just truly don't understand how that appeals to a wide market segment in the first place.

KFC with its Famous Bowls and now with the Double Down is making it acceptable to eat in public what once was only devoured over the kitchen sink while drunk or stoned at 3AM.

Maybe that's what the hubub is about.

Personally, I think the last time I ate KFC was, maybe, 1981. I'm not going to eat the thing, but I'm also not going to tell anyone else what to do.

But I don't eat that shit anymore, haven't for years, and am now doubly glad for it.

We put up important topics, zero response, something as stoopid as a chicken sandwich, DU jumps all over it. WTF is wrong with us as a community?

and you've got a mighty fine meal for two.

I just had one on Monday and thought it was not too bad.

We're no longer allowed to mock bad food? I didn't see anyone here proposing a harsh authoritarian crackdown on fast-food dispensaries, or a Cholesterol Ban, so whence does all the "You're Nazis for criticizing the latest laughable, ridiculous, nauseating offering from KFC" come from?

Nazis, as I recall, like to tell other people to shut up and keep their opinions to themselves. Usually because they're wrong.

Is this just one of those pet contrarian things where people are mad because of some extreme anti-burger position someone (PETA?) takes, and therefore feel the need to overzealously squash any perceived slight against the King (of burgers) or the Colonel (of chicken) without any reference to whether the criticism is legitimate?

Weird.

:crazy:

but I think that sandwich looks nasty.

And therefore deserves to be mocked.

This morning I heard a radio spot for this thing. The entire commercial was a parody of a monster truck rally commercial. The commercial sounded like their target demographic was Larry the Cable Guy.

Cooks Note: This recipe is per person - double it for each person.
2 1/4 tsp. bread crumbs
1 skinned chicken breast, pounded to 1/8 inch thick
1 sliced boiled ham
1 slice Swiss cheese
In skillet, heat half of the butter over medium heat until bubbly and hot. Add chicken and cook briefly on each side (just until no longer pink). Transfer chicken to plate, top each with ham and then cheese. Starting from the narrow end, roll chicken to enclose filling. Secure with a toothpick and transfer to a shallow baking dish; set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F.

In the same skillet, heat remaining butter over low heat until bubbly and hot; add crumbs and stir to combine. Sprinkle crumbs over chicken roll and bake until cheese is melted (2-3 minutes for one), remove toothpick and serve.

OPTIONAL MORNAY SAUCE (Serves 4):
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk
1/3 c. Parmesan cheese
1/2 - 1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper
In small saucepan, melt butter. With a whisk, beat in flour. When mixture bubbles, add milk all at once, stirring with a whisk to avoid lumps. Stir in cheese, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly until it's thick.
Pour over baked Chicken Cordon Bleu just before serving.

:sarcasm:

Then I read this thread and now I am compelled to eat one.

:spank:

Darn you guys.

that's kind of how I feel too. I don't like KFC, but lately when I drive by one I feel this strange curiosity... it's annoying actually. :P

Or at least that's what I'd do if I worked in KFC's marketing department.

:rofl:

At a whopping 2,600 calories, Baskin Robbins large Chocolate Oreo Shake is America’s worst food according to a survey from a US health magazine. At 125g of fat, it has three days worth of saturated fat…

Clearly blinded by love for their brand, the Baskin Robbins website says you can “Delight your senses with a delicious shake made with your favorite premium ice cream flavor! Treat yourself today to a sweet experience!”



BUT!!!! There's no meat in it, so you are still a pure liberal angel who will live to 240 years old if you have one. One bite of that KCF is instant death!

:shrug: :-p

We've probably all seen stories on the news, in magazines, on blogs, etc., that are pretty clearly dressed up press releases about how good, innovative, etc. a product is. This is the same concept, but instead of trying to plant stories about how great it is, you plant the notion that it's overkill, hedonistic, etc.

As we've clearly seen, word will spread quickly, and with little further effort required--just lean back and ride the outrage.

I ordered mine without the sauce though... it was YUMMY! Next time (couple of weeks maybe) I'll try it with the grilled chicken!

Fuckin' YUMMY.

Definitely less filling than, say, a big mac, and generic crap-tastic fast food quality.

Fuck, I'll even drink boxed wine.

thing for Americans to put in our faces to make ourselves even more unhealhty and obese than we already are. And that is a very sad thing. :(

I have really been looking at younger kids a lot lately. I see so many who are already fat -- not chubby, but FAT -- at ten years old. Those kids are looking at a lifetime of health challenges, and our culture is just adding to that on a daily basis.

Fast food like the sandwiches you mention are a cancer on our country.

They're CONSTANTLY coming up with NEW mega-caloric monstrosities - and then marketing them to food-illiterate yahoos who will then consume mass quantities of them.

Of course, there's ZERO thought of how this will affect a nation already plagued by obesity and physical inactivity.

The fast food industry hates America. And every other country they infest.

good luck with that

Just doesn't look as outright nasty as that Double Down thing.

Thankfully, I'd never touch either one. I know how to properly feed myself.

But then so is MC D's and Burger King.

When I was working at Bennigan's, the most popular sandwich (especially during "brunch" and, for soem reason, especially among women - hey, I'm not making a judgement here, just an observation) was the Count of Monte Cristo sandwich (or, as I liked to call it, the Count of Monte Crisco).

This sandwich was not exclusive to Bennigan's, and had a long history which Google will show.

This was before anyone actually started listing "nutrition facts".

It started out as an innocuous double-decker sandwich. Turkey and cheese on top with ham and cheese on the bottom. So far, so good, right?

THEN they would dip this plain sandwich in an extremely thick sweet egg batter. I'm not talking about a "dusting" of flour, or even the average tempura batter. This batter was close to 1/4 of an inch thick. Ridiculously thick. It was closer to pancake batter than tempura.

And then, of course, they deep-fried it.

If a double-decker sandwich deep-fried in a pancake batter doesn't sound disgusting enough, just wait. they would then cut the sandwich in half and sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

But wait! We served it with a side of sweet raspberry marmalade for "dipping".

I can't tell you how many of those I served. Or how many times when I asked "how is your meal" they replied "it's wonderful!"

I would then deliver the check as soon as possible, before they went into a diabetic coma.

So, this new KFC sandwich? It ain't shit.

The "double down" is only singled out due to its unusual arrangement of steroided-up and horribly treated chicken breast and bacon from a tortured pig smothered in Colonel Sander's jizz.

Enjoy morans.

Steroids are not used in the production of chicken here in the U.S.

How stupid does one have to be to condone that? Scratch that; I mean "eat that"? It's disgusting.

If you don't like it don't use it.

It's cheap, it's quick, and as long as you don't eat the chips every day, the neurological damage is no worse than, say a "Saved by the Bell" marathon.

:rofl:

...ate one of them yesterday and enjoyed it. Tasted like a tasty cordon bleu. I was not unhappy with it. It was filling and I was done after I ate it. Ate the 2nd one today for lunch and didn't eat anything else.

and they're giving KFC lots of publicity while doing it.

One that was more substantial than those over-priced and over-cooked Chicken Tenders. I like KFC.
