Dr. Bill's Doubledown Or KFC Doubledown - By: Dr Bill

A few weeks ago, Kentucky Fried Chicken debuted what it called a "Double Down Sandwich." I remember reading reviews of the offering on the internet and almost every single one gave the sandwich a big thumbs down. I saw the offering on television once and started laughing about the reviews, because I knew that KFC had a real winner and they would sell millions of them.

Originally, the promotion was supposed to last somewhere in the neighborhood of six weeks. It started on April 12th and was supposed to end this Sunday.

The sandwich consisted of two fried pieces of chicken breast, stuffed with bacon and cheese, with no bun, lettuce, tomato, or special sauce. You could also get a grilled version.

The original version had 540 calories, 32 grams of fat, and 1380 milligrams of salt, or sodium. The grilled version has some slight variations.

But here's the deal...compared to many of the salads being pawned off in many restaurants these days, the Double Down is a better choice, in a head to head duel. It's lower in calories, lower in fat and the sodium is a toss up. Now I'm not going to recommend that you eat it, but the food police are certainly helping to sell the
sandwich, whether they believe it or not.

KFC has sold a cool 10 million units of this creation in just a few weeks. So guess what? They're extending the promotion and you can almost bet this will go their menu permanently, in spite of what the food police think. One of my friends, a chef by trade, told me that he worked at a place in Philadelphia, where he made a mean chicken
parmigiana. He sold hundreds of the dish every week. One night, while drinking with his cooks, he asked them for new ideas for the menu. The first idea was veal parmigiana, the second was shrimp parmigiana and on and on it went...until someone suggested fried
bologna and onions parmigiana.

On Friday, they started with veal parmigiana. They sold out. Saturday, it was shrimp parmigiana. They sold out. On and on it went and so, everyday there was a parmagiana special. The guy who suggested the fried bologna and onions parmigiana complained that
his choice was never served. The chef decided to offer it as a lunch special on a Friday, mostly as a joke. They sold 67 orders and people asked when he would offer it again.

The food police have a big bully pulpit, but the fact is, people eat what they want to. That's why these government programs don't work.Now, when folks decide that they ought to eat a bit differently, that's a horse of a different mother. When you decide that pizza is not a food group and that soda alone can put 10 pounds on you a year, then it's time for an ultra pure, enteric coated, pharmacuetical grade fish oil and concentrated allicin, a heady garlic extract.

When you combine the fish oil and the garlic, you get a strong synergystic scrubber that keeps your arteries clean.

When you make the decision to abandon KFC and come over to the healthy side, I'll have your own personal doubledown ready to be packed and shipped.
