breaded fillets as the “bread,” and contains cheese, bacon and secret sauce as the “main ingredients.”

it would have been cool if it were actually called the Epic.
Is that out yet? I know what I’m getting on the ride home from Timberman now!! 
Lol!! wow that is so impressive and so disheartening at the same time.

True dat. Atkins is probably breakdancing in his grave right about now.
Sounds as heavenly as the bacon weave.
Ugh, I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Bacon and cheese wrapped up in breaded, fried chicken? This can’t be real…can it? Another sad day for America.
It’s basically chicken cordon bleu, as my boyfriend points out.
It does look gross/amazing, but when you think of it that way maybe it’s not so bad.
If there’s one thing you can talk about KFC, it’s the new sandwich being served. You could try out and see what you think of KFC’s new sandwich, but don’t over do it to yourself or your waist line will suffer. If you eat the new KFC sandwich, the Double Down sandwich, you might as well go buy a house for a cardiologist, because that’s essentially what you are doing. It seems irresponsible to sell a sandwich like this when obesity is epidemic in America. Seriously, if eating something like the Double Down sandwich is something you’d do on a regular basis.
Their first choice name was the double bypass.
IMO it’s not irresponsible, since this is so obviously unhealthy no one is being mislead into thinking they are doing anything other than gluing this to their thighs and arterial walls. The real culprits are the stealth items like the salad with gobs of ranch dressing, or the movie popcorn. Many people have no idea how bad those are. At least NYC makes fast food restaurants put calorie counts on the menu boards.
the funny thing is that there is probably the same amount of fat and sodium in this KFC sandwich than any sandwich you would find at Panera Bread Company, which many people seem to think is the healthy choice
.
How would this sandwich be any different, fat and calorie-wise, than ordering chicken cordon bleu at any restaurant?
Or fettucine alfredo - now that is a heart attack on a plate. Doesn’t stop me from eating it tho.
Go full tilt with the Luther Burger:
The Luther Burger, named after Luther Vandross, is a burger with the traditional burger bun replaced by a Donut, usually a Krispy Kreme. This has got to be the world’s unhealthiest burger!
Possibly the worlds unhealthiest burger, the Luther Burger contains more than 1000 calories and typically has over 45 grams of fat per portion.
If you haven’t already guessed the Luther Burger differs from usual burgers in one major way – the burger bun is replaced with a sliced sugar glazed donut. The donut of choice is usually a Krispy Kreme. In the current air of anti junk food and pro health food, how did this concoction come about and does it really sell? Where Did The Luther Burger Come From?
The creation of the Luther Burger is a bit of an urban legend but it is widely accepted that it was invented at Mulligan’s bar in Decatur, Georgia on a day when the cook ran out of hamburger buns and decided to use two donuts instead.
Its creator named the sandwich ‘Luther Burger’ after R&B legend Luther Vandross, who reportedly enjoyed the sandwich; some rumors claim that Vandross himself invented his namesake burger. The Luther burger name has stuck since then but the creation is also referred to as the Donut Burger.
The owner of Mulligan’s bar, Chandler Goff, has sold the rights to the Luther Burger to the Atlanta Braves baseball team, who will begin selling them in 2006 or 2007. So only the Atlanta Braves can sell a burger named Luther Burger.
Some versions of the Luther Burger are made with two donuts, at other times a single donut is cut in half and grilled after the meat has been cooked separately; the donut halves are placed around the meat glazed-side-in and the whole sandwich is flattened on the grill and cooked briefly to allow for somewhat less messy consumption. They often include cheese and/or bacon, but normally no vegetables or condiments.
I would say it belongs on This is Why You’re Fat, but it is already there. ALso there are classics like tempura bacon or the Mork’s Dork from Ork:
