Really, Massachusetts? Are we really doing this?

Local chain Friendly's offers a new burger that nearly triples KFC’s Double Down calorie count.

tl;dr - It's a burger, between two grilled cheese sandwiches, instead of normal buns made from bread - which is mostly air.

Been There, Done That. Friendly's is just copying what's already been done better in local joints for a while.

The one linked above uses Great Harvest Bread Company bread, and has a 2/3 pound burger in the middle.

And Bacon!

(I only had the one, and haven't even considered another since)

Congratulations, you should get a point or something. Maybe even two.

Not that this isn't terrifying, but the Double Down really isn't all that caloric by fast-food standards - KFC's estimates have it at 540(k)cal, and while that still seems low to me, given that the DD isn't really all that huge it isn't implausible either. 1500 is a lot, but a ton (err...) of diner items come pretty close; check out Red Robin's horror show sometime...
