5 Guys does have the upper hand in this one. I'll take the big burger over the chicken on chicken sandwich.

Well, my buddy got one. No, "my buddy" is not code for me. Personally, not a fan of KFC, I do love me some Popeye's though.

His thoughts below:

Quote:
Mission Accomplished!

First off, let me say that where I am in West L.A. this bad boy is not even on the menu! So, special thanks to tube or I would've never found this heart-murdering monster. I was thinking maybe they didn't have them yet but I asked "do you guys have the double down" and the chick behind the counter smiled and said "oh yeah..."

Holy god this thing is nasty. I mean, it's delicious for a minute or two but then it just turns to a huge, greasy ball of crazy. There was way less bacon than there should have been, which was kind of dissapointing. The chicken was good and spicy, though... if a little soggy.

The "special" sauce is something along the lines of mustardy ranch.

I gotta say, I'm glad I did this.... because, done right, this could be a ****ing masterpiece and I intend to make my own version of the double down very soon.

Of course, this is KFC we're talking about... and they went straight up nastay:

Doesn't KFC understand that the bread is the item designed to protect your delicate upper palate from hot AND
extremely hard, crunchy crust? Derh. What's next a gravel parfait?

I love 5 Guys with fresh jalapenos! I always get it with extra jalapenos!

KFC, don't care to much for it, my least favorite chicken place.

Cheese on any kind of chicken sandwich just doesn't sound good to me. I'll definitly pass on this one.

They should've done it big mac style and called it the triple down. One more piece of chicken in the middle would seal the deal.

Depends on the type of cheese. I like bleu, feta, and cheddar with chicken just fine.

Believe it or not, I've never eaten at Chili's. I don't have anything against them, we don't have one local, and I've always ended up eating somewhere else for one reason or another when there was one nearby.. I think I've covered pretty much all of the other clones: Applebee's/TGIF/Ruby Tuesday's/Red Robin/Outback...

I ate the "grilled" one monday and didn't care for it too much. I think they put too much seasoning on the chicken and it wasn't very "grilled" to me.
I may try the fried one, but for $7.48 for the meal, I can find better.
