Okay but how do you know the 11 herbs and spices if you’re NOT the colonel? Suspicious… I’ve never seen the two of you in the same room at the same time

[@mmasque2052]

He doesn’t. He missed at least the garlic and onion powder that’s in it according to a picture of herb and spice bottles that is in a KFC that is local to me. Those are very common additions to dredges anyhow.

I have so enjoyed Kendrick's story arc from someone who initially was raving over Totino's pizza rolls, to being blown away by the flavors that Josh introduced him to, to now being able to admit how good something of Josh's is and be frustrated that Josh can keep pulling off these miracles of delicious cuisine.

[@LabCat]

I want to see a cooking match: Kendrick vs. Josh, except Josh has a clothespin on his nose or something so he's limited in some way.

[@joel5956]

Right around the time the Double Down came out, one of the big franchise restaurants (99's or Applebees, I think) came out with a burger that used a whole grilled cheese sandwich for each side of the bun. Doing that might be a useful companion piece for the other end of the self-loathing sandwich bun spectrum.

[@TheBrando212]

We have a burger restaurant around here called Sickies and they actually do a grilled cheese burger among other tasty burger monstrosities lol

[@raedien]

Back in college you could order a "Clinton." It's a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of pizza instead of cheese in the middle. So good.

[@fraserlaidlaw7358]

Look up “Kenji Lopez Fatty Melt” I’m sure he didn’t invent the recipe or anything, but it’s horrifically delicious. I’ve made them a couple times now. It’s truly a day ending sandwich.

[@DinsdalePiranha67]

I don't remember that, but I do know that Applebee's makes a quesadilla cheeseburger. You will hate yourself for eating it, but it's better than it has any right to be.

[@zachritchie8943]

I used to go to a sports bar in college that had a challenge called The Swanson, double bacon cheeseburger with a sourdough grilled cheese for each bun

[@64BitArtist]

I was working at KFC when the Double Down came out (2009 or 10... somewhere in there). Had to go in after-hours to learn how to make it. It was fine. I mean... it was two pieces of chicken slapped together with bacon, sauce and cheese. Of course it wasn't going to taste BAD. It just tasted like a heart attack waiting to happen. I remember them looking a lot closer to what you've made here though. I don't know what happened to that poor sandwich, but it used to look a lot better. As good as yours looks, I probably wouldn't want to make it. An open-faced fried chicken sandwich on Texas toast tho... I could alter it into that!

[@SS4Xani]

I hate to admit but both look amazing. I might actually try these someday.

[@bensgalley1368]

I actually work at a KFC me and my coworkers all agree that the double down is just a heart attack waiting to happen. I've literally had someone ask for extra extra cheese and bacon with spicy sauce. I said we will read that person's name in the obituaries and everyone started laughing

KFC Double Down is the perfect creation. Doesn’t need a bun. And certainly doesn’t need pickles or other veggies. This sandwich is my cheat meal whenever I can get it.

[@dschingy]

I have a different approach for the extra crunch: Simply add some panko. Done. It saves you from potentially messing up the breading with too much marinade.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

It’s impossible. I’ve worked in bars/restaurants for the last 24 years. The prices we get from companies like Cisco blow every day grocery store prices out of the water. Bulk beats everything

With all those really pricy, kinda crappy protein bars at the grocery stores, you should do a better one of those. Like no saturated fat, high fiber, high protein. I think that would be really cool.

[@leonardosanchez9289]

Looks great, it would be interesting to see you do these kinds of challenges with ingredients similar in cost to the item you buy and time yourself to do it as quickly as they do. So if it takes 15 minutes from the time you order to the time you get the item, you would give yourself 15 minutes, and if it costs like $5, you would create a budget of $5.

[@kailynx2295]

That is not the point of the series and of course you aren't going to make anything from scratch as fast as a fast food joint where everything is already prepped and most of the time already cooked and just being warmed up. Hell for anything deep fried just the fact that you have to heat the oil instead of having friers already running would make that impossible
