KFC's Double Down Burger - Burger From Hell
Well, okay, maybe 'burger from hell' is a bit too much of an exaggeration. It's not THAT bad, it's just that the bad overpowered what good aspects the burger had. Oh well. Also, since it was an impulse buy, and I was power (window)shopping, I was eating it on the go while walking, so I had no time to take pictures. But oh well.
Let's play: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
First Impressions: Unboxing
But the smell. Oh god, the smell. Besides the hint of mayo smell (that weird as shit sweet thing again), it was heavenly. I really love KFC's original recipie chicken, and this 'burger' smelled just like it. Convinced me to take a bite.
Go Deeper: First Bite
So yeah. The first bite's not that bad. Chicken's good, the bacon's soft (this might be polarizing for some; I like my bacon both ways while some might like it crispy or soft). The chicken's moist with oil, and it's sorta tender. If you keep your mind off the though that it's oil, you're okay.
What I seriously couldn't get my mind around was that they chose to place MAYO and CHEESE in between the two slabs of chicken. I mean, if they placed gravy, that would have been better because the taste goes well with the chicken. BUT MAYO? AND CHEESE? It's like dropping Hiroshima, and dropping Nagasaki anyway JUST TO BE SURE. It's too much of the (not exactly) the same thing. I thought it would have been better if they placed lettuce, tomatoes, and maybe some pickles in there to counter the saltiness and the umami flavor.
All in all, it could have been good. But it sorta go ruined halfway. Could be better, could be saved. But at its current state, it's bad.
