The KFC Double Down Dog

Several people have asked my opinion about the new KFC Double Down Dog.  I'm not sure how I became an expert on hot dogs. Maybe it was the 100 hot dogs I ate one July or the 101 hot dogs I ate in another month to break that record or maybe it was the blog I launched devoted to hot dogs (it has since died of natural causes.) Regardless, I am honored to offer my opinions on this innovative and creative protein delivery system/narcotic.

I love almost everything about it. Tender all white meat chicken in KFC's crispy breading with a combination of spices created by a man with a mustache who called himself The Colonel. Does it get more bad ass American than that? Yes, it does. Because nestled deep inside that crispy Kentucky cocoon is an all-beef Finger of Freedom. I would say God Bless America but he already has. Not in this particular case of course, because the Triple D is only available in the Philippines at present. Come on, Philippines, do your job and buy the crap out of these so we can get them stateside or we won't buy any more Manny Pacquiao bobble heads.

Let's address the elephant in the room. The cheese sauce. Unnecessary and out of place. You're trying too hard KFC. That needs to be mustard. The other obvious question is: "Where is the bacon? Inside maybe?" No, I think they are holding that back so they can launch a Deluxe Double Down Dog (the Quad D) with bacon and fireworks.

In sum, I cannot wait to try one and I can only hope that it makes it over here in the US of A. If we will eat a waffle taco we will eat a fried chicken-covered hot dog.
