Here it is, the official review thread for the Double Down sandwich, I gave it 5/5 stars. What would my fellow bombers give it?(I know some of you have tried it.)
EDIT: As always, thank you to buzz_clik for the sweet image at the intro.
Hamburger
A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).
Hamburger Review: KFC's Double Down Sandwich

I give it a 4.5/5, as it's amazing, but I don't thing it gives a good bang for your buck, as you can get much more food for the price it is elsewhere. That said, it was a truly great sandwich.

I must have this delicious sandwich(?). Also the Management is awesome, they've changed so much over time.
" @InfiniteGeass said:Of course it's still a sandwich. It has stuff SANDWICH'd between two pieces of chicken. An ice cream sandwich is still a sandwich despite being bread-less." Would you still call it a sandwich even though it doesn't have bread? "FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU "
That's my two cents.
And good review as always ChurboMan.
And I've had a long discussion about sandwich's before, and ice cream sandwich is definitely a sandwich. But the main substance in that is the ice cream, which is sandwiched by the two chocolate pieces. What's different in the double down is that the main substance is the thing that is sandwiching the other ingredients, which is just the bacon and cheese. So is that still called a sandwich?

@ImperiousRix: Yes, but while it has no bread, it makes up for it by having two chocolate wafer cookies as the "bread", so it still has baked goods there. Fried chicken breasts are delicious, but not baked goods.
Maybe I'll buy that, and then also get my own bun and have a huge sandwich. That sounds like it would be tasty.
All I know is that it's 540 calories so the media hoopla is silly, the reason people are obese isn't this sandwhich. It's because they would order 2 with fries and a giant cola.
If they separated the chicken pieces, added buns, they would be like 900 calories combined and noone would say a fucking word.
Tried it...it's not horrible.
I dunno. The chicken itself was crunchy & tasty, everything else felt like salty goop in between. I felt like I ate about a whole bucket of chicken after I consumed everything, so I guess it did what it was supposed to. But it's probably less effort to just get a 2 piece meal at KFC.
Eh, I thought it was okay. Maybe it was due to the fact that I didn't eat it for about 40 minutes after I got it. I'll give it another shot and make sure to eat fresh right away next time.
3/5
" @ImperiousRix said:I can see what you dudes are saying, but I don't know if a sandwich is technically defined by its filling in every instance. For example, a burger featuring ciabatta bread is often referred to as a ciabatta burger; in this case the burger's identity is defined by its bread. This is also the case with a sourdough burger/sandwich. Therefore, I propose this could be referred to as a bacon and cheese sandwich which substitutes chicken breasts for the bread." @TurboMan said:" @InfiniteGeass said:Of course it's still a sandwich.

Now I'm hungry.
