I think it would be cool if they just took a big-ass chicken patty, sliced it down the middle and chucked all the burger shit in between, instead of using 2 patties.

If the cost was reasonable, I would totally take that and make an even more epic sandwich with it by adding a few layers of bun to it.

[Greenstoner]

that looks pretty good

[shenmecar]

yummy

[Alpine]

It's actually not that bad. Check out the nutritional content.. it has less calories and less grams of fat than 10 mcnuggets... and i'm sure everyone knows how easily it is to down 10 mcnuggets.... it's basically comparable to a Big Mac lol. Heart attack averted!

Compared to a regular fastfood cheeseburger, this has no more unhealthy ingredients than the cheeseburger, but the cheseburger does have more unhealthy ingredients than this. So this thing is healthier than a fast food cheeseburger.

I am not saying this is healthy food. But it is better than what most people eat when they go out anyway :lol

[SkinnyPupp]

Here's an excellent post on the double down (http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2010/04/12/i-doubled-down-and-lived-to-tell/). It confirms my thoughts on it - it is not as unhealthy as a similar burger you'll get at a fast food place, and doesn't cause a huge sugar spike. Also, it will keep you fuller longer.

If you really think high protein/high fat is bad for you, and low fat/high carb is good, you need to open your eyes.

[Meowjin]

yes keep eating processed foods. It does you good.

[SkinnyPupp]

Yes because nobody who freaks out about the double down ever eats at restaurants.

[Meowjin]

Yes because nobody who freaks out about the double down ever eats at restaurants.

Fast food is the downfall of the north american society. How many 3rd generation canadians/americans know how to cook? I was damn lucky that I sucked up alot of knowledge before my mom died. I was 11. I feel bad for my friends who eat out every day.

[SkinnyPupp]

I know fast food sucks. I wouldn't call it the downfall of society though :lol And something like the Double Down is actually an improvement over pretty much everything else, so it's ironic that people are freaking out about it.

If they can go back to using animal oil to fry the food in, replace all buns with chicken breasts, and use real cheese and bacon, this would actually be a pretty damn healthy meal. Unfortunately, what people think is healthy is literally the opposite of true, so that will never happen.

[Meowjin]

any meal that makes you feel like shit after is never a healthy meal.

[SkinnyPupp]

Any meal without a huge amount of carbs doesn't make you feel like shit. So you're right, the double down is healthy ;)

[Meowjin]

fuck why am i still awake.

[SkinnyPupp]

Probably from a blood sugar spike from your high carb dinner ;)

Is that the single QP or the double?
I always have the double.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[SkinnyPupp]

That's a single. Double is good, but still not as good as the Double Down. About 40g of protein I believe... Remove half the bun and it still tastes good, with around 20g carbs. Even better would be to remove the slice of evil they call "cheese" but then it won't taste as good...

[penner2k]

YOU'RE not good enough for Canada

He is right though. Why is the KFC thing banned and McDonalds not?
If you just get the "burger" I dont think the Double Down should cause any sort of insulin spike which means that the fats that are in the burger should either get used as energy or get shit out.
This is putting this all into small words. If you still arent happy with this answer I'm sure either me or Skinnypupp could start using big words and quoting studies to get our point across.
The only thing that bothers me is the sodium content of the burger but again I doubt the Big Mac is much better.

[SkinnyPupp]

It's about 1400 mg compared to 1000 on the big mac. Without bacon it would probably be under 700

But whatever, just drink more water.. Salt isn't nearly as bad as people have made it out to be, granted that you are healthy.

[sonick]

Hmm, looks like you can get it Grilled as well, which is definitely not too bad at all. Still sodium laden though.

[raygunpk]

kinda off topic, but has anybody went to churches chicken and got jalapeno bombers? damn those are good.

Let's say you want a LOW FAT alternative to the above. Where do you go? SUBWAY of course!

A 6" won't do, you'll be hungry in 10 minutes. So we better get a footlong. Thankfully, Subway offers footlongs with LOW FAT!

I know you're being sarcastic, but I have to point out.... That's just another stupid myth. Cleansing is totally unnecessary, especially if you are getting enough fat in your diet (yes I said fat, not fiber)

[SkinnyPupp]

It's how our guts have developed in the last few million years, to eat meat and fat with a bit of roughage, rather than roughage and starch with a bit of fat.

If you take those fiber supplements, all you are doing is irritating the lining of your gut, causing it to flush out mucous and shit faster. That is not necessarily what you need to do to be healthy. People assume that you need to shit every day, and it has to be a large shit to be healthy. That is not true either.

A bit off topic, but SP, what do you make of the idea that consumption of red meat particularly cooked, is linked to colon cancer?

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Eating_Lots_of_Red_Meat_Linked_to_Colon_C ancer.asp


Back on topic,
This double down sandwich is far different than eating two fresh chicken breasts with a slice of pork and some fine french cheese. You say it's better than eating a fast food burger, and I agree, but it really isn't saying much, looking at the big picture of available foods to eat. It really seems laughable to put the Double Down and healthy in the same sentence. (Double down, and not chicken, pork, and cheese)

[SkinnyPupp]

I don't think anything about the red meat/cancer bullshit, just as I don't think anything about most "things that cause cancer". Everyone loves to say that shit without solid proof. Or at least what I would consider to be solid proof (for instance, smoking cigarettes)

Anyway, like I said, the Double Down is certainly not health food. But not only is it better than what you'll get at Subway, it is MUCH better. And it is better than most similarly sized burgers you'll find elsewhere.

when this thing first got announced i got in a big argument on another forum arguing the merits of the protein in the "buns" in the double down VS a white loaf of bread you get at subway, etc.

no one could believe chicken breasts could possibly contain protein

People are idiots, it's really as simple as that.

Alll you have to do is look at the nutrition info. Compare it to a Big Mac or a Turkey sub, or ANYTHING around the same size. The Double Down compares favourably every time.

But of course, that would require a functioning brain.

How did you find the burger? You never commented on it. Wondering because I might eat here later in the summer, wondering if it's worth it to drive out there for..

I was in vegas expecting to give this burger a try, went to kfc at fashion show mall with my mouth drooling for it but to only find out they dont even sell it. For those who tried it, is it really that good. Which one tasted better, the grill or deep fried?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

dude

nothing beats deep fried, NOTHING!!!!!!

[Volvoman]

How did you find the burger? You never commented on it. Wondering because I might eat here later in the summer, wondering if it's worth it to drive out there for..

very greasy. so greasy that the grease helps you swallow and you don't need to drink anything with it. With that said, it is something everyone should try once but never again. The burger, however was tasty, nothing special. You go there to say you've gone there before and to look at the hot girls, not for the burgers.

Thanks! I'm guessing you mean my avatar, unless my dead K-car scares you too :). It was my GF's final project for school. 6 hours of sitting still paid off!

[Greenstoner]

I finally tried this last week, it wasnt cheap either. I belived it was $5.42 US for only the sandwich.

Review on this - Tasty and meaty. I enjoyed it but I felt like shit after 45 mins of eating it. I wasnt sure if it was the travelling and shopping around or the Double Down. But Im certain I feel like shit when I see any fast food restaurant in the following day and was craving for Sushi or Chinese food.

[Timewav3zer0]

Tried it over the weekend...it was good but kinda dry and tasteless, couldve used more sause imo

[Vale46Rossi]

I drove down to bellingham they did not have a KFC near Bellisfair anymore :(

Which sucks so I couldnt get it... haha

You're joking right?
Each one contains more than your daily recommended sodium intake, and you want 2? In 1 meal?

Keep a blowtorch at work, and bring a cheap cut of steak.
You'll have a much better meal.

Speaking of which, I think it's time I started doing that on the street near Burrard station. It'll get me quite the following I bet :p

[darkfroggy]

Is this as bad as two Double Big Macs?

[SkinnyPupp]

Is this as bad as two Double Big Macs?
It's not nearly as bad as one double Big Mac. In fact it's not as bad as one normal Big Mac. A few pages back I compared it to several burgers, and it is better than all of them, by a lot. Unless you have sodium issues, it is quite literally the healthiest thing you can eat at a fast food restaurant.

[LexiSauce]

i can confirm, i went there yesterday to buy a tonnie tuesday meal. like everyone else has said, its over seasoned and not healthy at all, i think i got chest pains from it. it's pretty expensive too, the sandwich itself is $6.99 and a combo is $8.99, for that price i'd rather get a double quarter-ponder meal from mcdonalds or something from five guys.

^did u make it out alive?

[Vale46Rossi]

Just dropped by the local KFC and tried this beast,

I went to one that was about to close and they had to make it fresh,

I saw them take 2 pieces of fresh chicken breast and bread it right on the spot

After they threw the breast in the deep fryer,

after they stacked it :)

Shit was pretty good,

not too much salt actually perhaps varies at stores depending how they bread it ?

But I also asked for a little sauce only.

damn they look tasty...

only a matter of time until someone posts a double-down quadstacker.....

just tried this thing.... never eating it sober again

Ask them to make one with less salt.

[filth]

damn u guys make this thing sound horrible, its like 1/10 people like this... and how are u going to ask them to make it with less salt when its already marinated in the chicken, bacon, and sause, and probably the cheese too.

chicken nuggets or the double down

No the chicken is not pre-breaded

they use brand new fresh chicken and bread it before frying.

[Meowjin]

id say 5 guys is healthiest burger place since all their ingredients are fresh and not frozen and cut in store.

[2damaxmr2]

Yup 7 bucks each for what you get is BS. It was a salty disgusting mess of a burger. You pay extra for the gimmick really.

[cunninglinguist]

I just had one with the fries and drink combo. I agree with the above. It's pretty salty. The sauce seems to be the saltiest ingredient. I think next time i'll ask to see if they could put a different sauce in.

It wasn't as filling as I thought it would be. At the end, I wolfed the fries and drink down and I felt I could eat another one but I would probably puke from all the salt like the dude in the video.

[Razor Ramon HG]

So do all the locations have it already?
