THE CHICKEN IS THE BUN!

I believe the answer is yes, and it’s this, the Paul Tudor Jones-approved KFC Double Down Sandwich. (Description: “This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets, two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun!”). But, obviously some details need to be ironed out.

Should this be a one on one challenge, whoever eats the most in a set period of time? Should it be man v. chicken, a certain number of sandwiches with or without time limit? And who will be the first to take up this challenge? I’m working on securing PTJ or Oyster Boy (he’s gotta eat lunch anyway) but in the event neither are available, someone needs to be a hero.

    Ask Steve Evans, his video game kingpin quant trader if he’ll do it. I hear he’s always trying to one up PTJ and is first in line when PTJ bring the KFC into the TudorJones cafiteria in Greenwich.

    I’ve been trying to get my clerk to do this all day…

    Zach Kouwe can do it!

    this is what you get when you think outside the bun.

    Seriously, I could eat 10 of these in an hour, if allowed to water them down with a good Italian white (with a side of duck confit infused organic fava beans).

    @4 same, these things look so damn good.

    @3 – Zach Kouwe would have someone else do it then take credit for it.

    @6, true. Zach Kouwe’s ghost eater could do it!

    ” “The chicken is watery within its soft casing of “crust,” the cheese familiar to anyone who has eaten food prepared by the United States government, the bacon chemical in its smokiness, the mayonnaise sauce tangy, salty, and sweet, all at once.” “

    Imagine you fall off a boat out in the open ocean, and you turn around, and the boat is gone. And then the water’s gone. And then you’re gone.

    Bess,

    m.dealbreaker.com over two weeks out of date.

    examine your IT contracts.

    (i know, the mobile version kind of blows anyways.)

    I think it should be an endurance race. Last one to have a heart attack wins, but with penalty time added for each sandwich behind the other person is. This should reward not just fast eating, but low cholesterol levels and overall good health.

    Also, you could sell ad space to Tums and other related companies.

    Raj Rajaratnam would take this thing down, provided he wasn’t running shit, with Bernie, in the joint.

    Big macs and anything from BK are worse for you than the Double Down. I’m done, Buzzkill over…

    @23: nice gem (verbatim):

    “KFC commands 90 per cent of the fast food fried chicken market in Canada, according to Priszm Income Fund…”

    Who else is in the fast food fried chicken market in Canada? Are they losing 10% market share to school cafeterias?

    already attempting a challenge today.. run from midtown offices to 34th street KFC, eat 5 double downs, sprint back. first one wins.

    Call up the Wachovia guy that ate cat food. Done.

  29. Posted by volatilitysmile | April 12, 2010 at 3:49 PM

    @28 – cat food is better than KFC any given day. My money is on cat food tuna being of higher grade than the one found in the canned Walmart fare.

    with intern season quickly approaching, I think this should be the initiation

    I think we can create a tax on this sandwich? Call it a delicacy tax.

    This won’t lead to the runs….this will lead to heart failure.

    @31 – point taken. Could you buy a franchise and report in a year’s time? Meanwhile, I’ll look into short-selling both purveyors while delta hedging with a long heart attack/bypass surgery.
