NO bun, the bun is the chicken, and melted cheese and bacon in the middle! :eek: The best bit?

"Weighing in at 540 calories, the Double Down contains 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of salt. As a "combo" meal with a side order and a drink, it can contain 1,000 calories, 45 grams of fat and 2,120 milligrams of salt - which is more sodium than the American Heart Association recommends in a day"

Is this in Ireland yet? It's like plumpynut in digestible form!

Its so wrong, I want it.

I'd say it's kind of crunchy, just like their cockroach burgers.

It's a bit overkill

In all fairness, that thing should be taxed like cigarettes.

That's nothing....have a look at these fine eats.

So what they've effectively done is remove the bread from a double chicken burger. Well done lads, bonuses all round.

Pizza burger is a snack compared to this.

But this is the daddy.

The link makes me hungry!

Pffft, wait til they get a load of my Triple Down sandwich. Same idea as the double except the buns are made of deep fried Mars Bars.

That could be the worlds greatest hangover cure!!!

UrbanSea · 20-05-2010 8:49am

I had a quick tug over that burger

phill106 · 20-05-2010 8:51am

Nom Nom!
Bet thas as a meal with a large diet coke is the most popular combo. Because that diet coke is gonna save the day!

Though i do wonder about the validity of the research from that site.

For all the bluster, the Double Down isn't the most egregious burger on the market. Others, such as Wendy's Baconator and McDonald's Angus Bacon and Cheese, are more fattening. Yet removing the bread from a sandwich seems to represent a breakthrough of the least appealing kind.

A mcdonalds angus?! I think not! That is burger kings dammit, and my fave burger there!

McDonalds do them in the States too. The Mushroom and Swiss one is orgasmic.

The McDonalds Big Tasty with Bacon has about 800 calories doesnt it?

I want me some Double Down.

UrbanSea · 20-05-2010 9:27am

KFC seem to have the best of food over in America,I remember when I was there ages ago they had these boneless chicken wings in about 3 flavours,6 for 2.99 or something. I think something similar came out here a few years later,but not half as good and only one flavour
