The KFC Double Down
Today, I have ate a KFC double down sandwich. A sandwich literally thrown across the living room at me, because I wouldn't get up to get it.

Except mine was lukewarm, with barely melted cheese. KFC's continuing standards of mediocrity have been met by this barely edible cheesey wad of greasy garbage. The chain has gone to hell in the last 15 years.
I have a feeling I'll be seeing it again soon. I don't feel well.
I may have to beat my wife for even buying this for me.
Is that picture supposed to look tasty? :unsure:

To some, I suppose. I'd like to view it as a warning to the world. America is fucked in the head, and our nuttiness is backed by nuclear weapons.
Harland Sanders is spinning in his grave.
That just looks horrific.
I've never had a KFC sandwich. Always seems a waste to me to go there and not get some of the good unique chickeny stuff.
In spite of this thread, I'm going to have to try one of those sometime soon.
p.s. love the title. Make sure to bump sometime when Siege is around.
:o :pinch:
Ed, do you review none-food products too? 'Cause, I have a Request.
All the talk got me to give it a try. I just ordered a grilled chicken double down but they gave me the fried one. It might be better grilled, but fried, it's awful.
I threw up around 1 pm.
Final verdict:

About 15 years ago is when Pepsi spun out Tricon (now called Yum!). Could be a coincidence, I dunno. IMO KFC was at its best in the 80s and has gone downhill steadily since. Yum! has ruined every brand it acquired aside from Pizza Hut. Taco Bell was far better (and cheaper!) before Pepsi got its grubby little hands on it.

Yes, I can see great promise in a general "Ed Reviews..." thread...food, cars, consumer electronics, hookers, you name it.
This is sort of a revival of my "Cavalcade of Crap" thread from the old forum.
I figured since Tim has turned this place into a shitty newspaper, I'll be a food critic.

Pepsi sold off KFC and Pizza Hut?
KFC sucks.
That picture looks horrible.

It owned KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut. It didn't sell them to anyone, rather it made them an independent company called Tricon.
KFC chicken nuggets are good. I had those when I was in Vancouver. Can't find them in HK, though.
But that pic is just :bleeding:
Ewwwugh, that looks gawd-awful, it sure is no Triple Stacker.
Alright, I just had one. It was actually pretty good. Nice cuts of chicken, the cheese product was edible, etc. I'm not sure it was worth seven and a half dollars, but it was a decent fast food meal.

They are five dollars. Did you really eat that plus a value meal? :yucky:
Did you get the grilled one or the fried? The fried was one of the worst things I've eaten.
The nonstop media frothing about the Double Down amused me at first, but is starting to get irritating.
Apparently even NPR agrees that the sandwich isn't really any worse for you than other typical fast food sandwiches.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/04/shots_v_the_double_down.html (http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/04/shots_v_the_double_down.html)
Now, why the media obsessively focuses on fast food and sit-down places get a free pass is beyond me. I doubt the quality of food at most sit down joints (i.e. TGI Fridays, Applebee's) is really much better, and the waitstaff tries to upsell the fuck out of you while you're there, pushing appetizers, dessert, etc. on you. Last time I checked McDonald's doesn't try to upsell at the register, and I rarely see people ordering desserts there (and do they really even serve appetizers?)
I bet the typical American would actually lose weight if they ate every meal at McDonald's and didn't super size everything.
Cheesecake Factory now, that is a fat farm.

Yeah, and how often do liberal busybodies scream about it? :contract:
By the same token, it's also weird to me how PETA is so hateful toward KFC when basically every other restaurant under the sun serves factory farmed chicken and probably treats their chickens no better.
Conclusion: The media hates black people restaurants. :(

I very rarely eat fast food, but I felt worse after eating the double down. I'm leaning toward the double down being horrible nutrition. Does that make it worse than McDonald's? I don't know.
KFC is white people's chicken.
Popeyes always had the black customer in mind with their spicier fried chickens and catfish baskets.

Yep, and I had the fried. :showoff: Though honestly I think the Mountain Dew hit my stomach worse than the chicken did. The chicken wasn't even as greasy as the potato wedges.
I tried the grilled chicken at KFC once and was very unenthused.

Well, there are no porn apps in the apps store, but it does play a variety of downloadable media formats. So just as long as they are not embedded in flash, the asnwer should be yes it can.

Really? The food at those places actually looks and tastes like real food. The portion size is too big of course, but that's not a problem with quality.

Yeah, I was really surprised when I looked up the nutritional values of the 6 piece chicken tenders from O'Charley's (which was 1500 calories a couple of years ago) vs the 10 piece nuggets from Mcdonalds (apparently 460 calories)
Strange
I review the TV show The Deadliest Warrior:
While sitting down to watch a re-run of CSI, I catch this stupid show. The episode compares a Spartan vs a Ninja fighting each other. Stupid idiots play with ninja and spartan weapons and pretend the two fight each other. I'd rather watch Gil Grissom masturbate and splooge in Jorja Fox's ugly face that watch a minute of this stupid fanboy shit.
Grade: Stupid Timmay shit. I assume the next show is a T-Rex with a cannon vs. a Old Guard grenadier. fuck.

I obtained a bag of "retro" Doritos Taco flavor chips. Instead of the shitty new chips they have been selling, this bag promised me the flavor of the old days when I was lad. The flavor of the 70's.

After consuming a few chips, my mind was awash in memories of the 70's. The zenith TV in the wood cabinet. The 3 TV channels. No remote control. Jimmy Carter. Bo Derek's bush. DARTH VADER.

She's living with an unemployed contractor in a house she bought with him, raising his 6 year old kid since she was 2 and still dealing with baby's momma drama, and accepted the engagement ring even though she doesn't want to get married, and was crying in the office the day after.

My wife turns 30 next week. That plus the fact that she has a kid (my kid) has resulted in me telling her that I will make some changes in personel the next couple of weeks. She tried to object but was quickly stopped as always by my trusted pater familias argument.

Why the hell wouldn't you think it was him? He was an absolute hero when I was growing up.
It wasn't him who danced with Ginger Rogers you know.
Well, first I doubted it was him because his name didn't come up as you wrote it, but as Red Adair instead of Adaire, so I guessed it would have been some other guy. Then it's the fact that the guy was, of all things, an oil well firefighter. That's Discovery Channel material, some guy who is an absolute ace in a very obscure and extremely hazardous job, but not exactly prime time celebrity material.
"Red" Adair is a major hero in Norway still. Back in the early days of deep sea oil drilling, there was a blowout and Red came and made it all go away. To boot, he was a charicature of an American, so he was much loved.

Let's just say that oil well firefighting sounds like a very esoteric job for someone from a country where there's no oil drilling whatsoever.

In Norway, all Americans are Texans. :uffda:
No Stetson? You not American! :mad:
He was regularly in the news in the 70 and came out of retirement to help stem the oilfield fires in the first Gulf war.
He was so famous, John Wayne played him in a film version of his life!
A real hero.

Denny's "Baconalia"
Since I was meeting some friends near a Denny's, they wanted to go eat there. I entered with some trepidation, as Denny's can give you the walking farts. And the walking shits.
I ordered the Bacon flapjacks, which was pancakes with Bacon in them. BIG FUCKING DEAL.
However, as I had expressed a revulsion to the advertised 'Bacon Sundae', a pool was quickly formed. I eat a bacon sundae, I get 200 bucks. I fail, and I have to get on the table and sing Ethel Merman showtunes. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Despite the sundae looking like vanilla ice cream with shit pieces on it, it wasn't bad. Plus I got 200 bucks.
Rating: Meh.
Damn, I wish people were willing to pay me 200 hundred bucks to eat ice cream with bacon in it.

That said... at some point in my life I've got to try that heart attack sandwich Elvis would fly to Denver for. One loaf of french bread, one jar of peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and one pound of bacon. Fry the bacon, insert into loaf pre-slathered with pb&j, close loaf, slather with a whole stick of butter, and bake. :showoff:
10,000 calories and 1 kilogram of fat per sandwich. :elvis:
Then deep fry it. :)

But the BK crew thoughtfully decided to increase my sodium intake by dumping an entire salt lick onto my small fries.

Yes, more options. Tbh I doubt that BK or McD are much worse than most of the kebab shops around here. The cheap ones all get their meat from the same place anyhow, so having 10 kebab shops around isn't that exciting.
In international fast food we have McD (plenty), BK (often), Subway (a few), KFC (very few) and Vapiano (rising). National ones are Schnitzelhaus and Pizza Mann. They're greatly outnumbered by Turkish/Balkans/Asian places.

Try some peri-peri sauce. It sets your ass on fire and tastes good. It's fairly low on sodium too.
Or, you know, make your own sauce. It doesn't take much of an effort. Replace salt with spices. One of my favourites is the very simple "Dalmatian sauce" which basically is lemon juice, olive oil and fresh garlic with some roughly chopped parsley. Works with fish, veggies and meat. Not that you will see meat any time soon again. ;)
My heart beats just fine after 25 years of trying to kill myself with cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, coffee and fat food. I blame olive oil, garlic and chilies of various sizes and flavours and copious amounts of exercise on my failure to get a heart attack.
Anyway, man, This Too Shall Pass. Feel better! Please?

If you want to avoid the ass-fire you can get mild or medium Peri-Peri sauce. (Strangely peri-peri sauce is in the "British" section at my local supermarket.)

That's a great sauce for fish. Salsa is also good and versatile; you can substitute peaches, strawberries or mangoes for tomatoes for variation.
I feel better. :)
I haven't made any Ed Sauce recently since I haven't smoked or grilled anything recently. Everybody gets Ed sauce on them when they eat my grilled sausage.

Sure, I'll take the Ed Sauce. Then add some salt on the food :P
SALT IS VERBOTEN.
For the sub lovers, try DiBella's subs if you have one near you. Their meatball sub blows Subway out of the water.
SALZBURG? WE SHALLT ES DESTROYEN!!!

I am fine with most fast food, but not Subway. A Subway sandwich packs a lot of ingredients for the price, but it is no good :mad:

That's not a particularly high bar. Around here, Primo Hoagies and Wawa both do better meatball subs than Subway (I particularly like the Primo "Old Fashioned Meatball", since they use a bunch of shredded parmigiana instead of a wimpy slice of provolone for their cheese, but it's kind of expensive).

I'm not in the middle of Wop country. The choices are....limited.

Burger King Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
So I'm traveling around and decide to eat Burger King. Mistake #1
A Chicken Parmesan sandwich.

mistake #2
And I was in Springfield Ohio, mistake #3
I get the sandwich and it looks like it is having its time of the month. There is Red sauce everywhere. Goddamn it got on my seats. I take a bite and as usual, they didn't melt the cheese. And there is too much mozzarella on the goddamn sandwich. The sandwich is mediocre. Bleh. I eat half before I feel my acid reflux churning and toss it back into their parking lot. Fuck them.
Then I got back on the road and had to pull over to puke. Awesome. I knew I should have went to White Castle.
White Castle is always the answer.* It does not matter what the question was.
*unless you are within driving distance of Blimpy Burger
Reminds me, I haven't had a Krystal in 20 years or so.
Chicken rings!
