AtticaFlinch Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I haven't tried it yet, but I will... oh, I will.Unfortunately, I have this sneaking suspicion that it'll be a bit like Snakes on a Plane. The marketing will be about a thousand times better than the actual product. Still though, for now, I MUST HAVE ONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 In my opinion the DD is a half-assed attempt at what it should be. Oh, it's a fried chicken sandwich...where's my skin?!?!? It's a breast? Come on. If you are as committed as I am to challenging arterial integrity, that needs to be dark meat with skin on it. Then, wet-batter the whole thing and deep fry it again. Sure it's not as easy, but building great things often isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I had one for the first time the other day and I thought it was goooooood. It's the sodium in it that'll kill ya...

KinkaidAlum Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 This doesn't tempt me like something I saw on the Food Network awhile back...A double cheeseburger with bacon but the buns were two grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon.

crunchtastic Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 All aboard the Chunder Express.Boy did I ever make a mistake opening this thread while eating lunch. That's just nasty. But I guess they need a hit after their mashed potato bucket with corn and gravy flopped. Was there not a single person at HQ to suggest that a menu item which looks like vomit might not sell well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 So we have three people who tried it? Two who like and one that does not?I am surprised, I thought it was not very good at all but initially was just as pumped as the rest of you.

sevfiv Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Well, I'm easy to please. Especially if there's bacon involved (though there wasn't *that* much bacon on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if there's bacon involved (though there wasn't *that* much bacon on it).Did you like the Sauce that was on it?I think another reason I may not have liked it was b/c it was sort of a hot day and I ate in a truck without a/c. You know how chicken and hot weather can do that to you, or me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how chicken and hot weather can do that to you, or me at least. I can totally see how eating hot bacon and cheese between to steamy pieces of fried chicken would be...uncomfortable...in that scenario. The sauce was interesting but stayed in the background of the whole experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it even more confusing, the Masters program was an MS, not an MA. (The only real difference is I can use ESRI software proficiently and I know trig - not to be confused with Sarah Palin's baby Trig.)

crunchtastic Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I am obsessed with the Double Down now.

crunchtastic Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Is it a creature? A brown-ish gooey clam or something. ick. It's not like I'm down on fast food. In fact, I just finished (sadly, true) trying to get a glob of taco bell burrito supreme goo out from between the arrow keys on my keyboard. I don't trust the Double Down chicken. Original recipe breading is always slimy. It is never crisp or drythe way it looks in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanS Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 FINALLY! A sausage gravy vending machine! Bob Evans!

Until the machine can dispense sausage gravy encrustations (and yes, according to spell check, "encrustations" is a word) such as can only possibly be harvested by scraping an overheated pan with a spatula, I must abstain from patronizing the device.

AtticaFlinch Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think so. Just like those self cleaning ovens. It's like having a cat in the oven. Which, I guess, is also pretty much the way it's done on a taco truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtticaFlinch Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Breaking News: New study shows fat kids bullied more than skinny kids!Further studies reveal the sky is blue and water is wet.In other obesity related news, I tried the Double Down this weekend, and... eh... let's just say I was underwhelmed. The bacon flavor was hidden by the massive amount of fried chicken in every bite. This thing needed at least four more slices of bacon. And really, would it have hurt to have included at least one piece of bread? This "sandwich" needed a bit better flavor balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
