I love that some of the items on that list are salads. I mean yes, obviously the Baconator Double is awful, but who would have expected the Tendercrisp Garden Salad to have more calories, more fat, and more sodium than the Double Down?

I had the grilled version - it was not worth the price of admission.
-> the cheese made it greasy as **** without the bun to soak some of it up
-> it is smaller than you assume
-> and its more "essense of bacon" ... like there may have been bacon there once
-> the sauce was good -some type of honeymustard
Basically Hardees has nothing to worry about in the area of bad-for-u-deliciousness.

Agree with Janny. 600 calories is around a (properly proportioned) meal. Granted the fat is high and there's only 3 food groups (protein, dairy and fat), but get this. Compare the Double Down to an Original Recipe breast, mashed potatoes, slaw, and a biscuit (KFC's "One-Peace Breast" Meal):
Serving Size (gm): 164+145+130+54 = 493
Calories: 320+120+180+180 = 800
Calories from fat: 130+35+100+70 = 335
Total fat (gm): 15+4+11+8 = 38
Saturated fat (gm): 3.5+1+1.5+6 = 12
Trans Fat (gm): 0
Cholesterol (mg): 110+0+0+0 = 110
Sodium (mg): 710+530+160+530 = 1930
Carbs (gm): 4+19+19+23 = 65
Fiber (gm): 0+1+2+1 = 4
Sugar (gm): 0+0+14+2 = 16
Protein (gm): 42+2+1+4 = 49
Add a regular soda and up that by at least 200 calories. The Double-Down is actually nutritionally comparable to one of their "KFC Famous Bowls"
I'm still going to get one just to say I did. As long as I make it a meal for a day, shouldn't be a biggie (especially compared to the chili cookoff next weekend)
Just a note. Very salty. If you like bland food, it's not for you. Also, lots of water.
Again though, comparing it to other fast food choices and saying that it's not as bad is kind of misleading. Yes, it's marginally better than some other terrible foods.
Should probably put a burrito shell around it and then dip it in pancake batter before one final drop in the deep fryer
Which reminds me...I took this picture at the 2006 Iowa State fair. Let's play "find the irony"
I just watched the commercial for this thing. It looks like the most delicious deadly thing ever made.
Yes, it is back on April 21st. :spinny::v_SPIN:
