Dear KFC,
I actually set an outlook reminder to alert me of the day the Double Down was to be released. Â An Outlook Reminder. Â I take calorie-laden, bun-less chicken sandwiches seriously, people.
I live downtown. Â There are no convenient KFC's near me. Â Therefore I drove approximately 20 miles to visit your Bloomington/Mpls border location. Â Not that the length of my drive should increase the quality of your food, but a girl can hope for some old fashioned chivalry every once in a while, right?
There were 8 of us in line all talking about the DD and one man at the register ordering a bucket to go. Â But you said no. Â No, he could not order that because you ran out of chicken.
RAN OUT OF CHICKEN?
Ummmmmmm. Â Chicken is what you DO guys. Â Don't run out of chicken. Â People don't go to KFC for your mashed potatoes (apologies of you do) - they go for your special recipe.
So the verdict on the double-down. Meh.....I can say I tried it. Â The boyfriend and I bought 2 - one fried and one grilled to see if one had more redeeming qualities than the other. (Sorry to spoil it for you - no - they did not.) Â They were equally average and bun-less, the later being kind of the point, I guess.
In closing, I'd skip this unless you're desperate for chicken. And even then, you may be out of luck.
Love, Holly
