Just when KFC had tempted people with the 'double down', could there be a new taste sensation? Perhaps, it's only at events like the CNE where they have chocolate-covered bacon and deep-fried butter.





Between the cream puffs and everything you can get on a stick, food at the Wisconsin State Fair is a dish best served over the top. Ladies and gentlemen, meet 2010’s early favorite: the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger.

Sold at the Machine Shed tent at the fair, the $5 burger features the normal patty and melted cheese, but with a Krispy Kreme doughnut for a bun. For an extra dollar, patrons can top the burger with last year’s big hit: chocolate-covered bacon on a stick (furthering the debate on whether the new dish is dinner or dessert).

The calorie count: 1,000, according to Nathan Morrissey, executive chef at the Machine Shed.

What’s the burger’s appeal?

“Well, let’s see,” Dave Owens of Appleton, Wis., said at the fair’s opening day this month. “It’s a doughnut with chocolate-covered bacon and a cheeseburger put together. How could you go wrong?”

I saw that on Diners, drive-ins, & dives. Guy said it was really good, but Guy thinks everything is really good.

Really? It must be one of those things that they serve only at exhibitions, fairs, etc. I haven't seen it on the menu at Kelsey's, yet.

Is it true that the famous KFC sandwich is gone now? That it's gone the way of the McRib...makes a limited appearance and then goes?

ya the double down is gone from what i was told by the KFC where I bought my 9th double down lol I now thats gross but it was soooo good

Adair

Didn't have the opportunity to have one while they were here.
Perhaps they'll re-appear in a few months again for a 'limited time' and I'll get to have one then.

You had nine of them?
They must have been pretty good.

It was at a ball park I believe somewhere in the states.

I dunno, maybe it was on Man Vs. Food, my memory is all blended together in one huge shlardo conglomerate.

It seems to be the kind of thing that gets created for event type venues.

Although this isn't all that outlandish, I did finally have some:

Red Velvet Cheesecake. It was a bit artificial, but still tasty.
I'm glad I tried it, though I doubt I'd buy it again.

fast food, yuck. i only eat at those places when a)its too late, and nothing else is open, or b)nothing is close to where i am and need to eat asap.

Speaking of fatty foods, i was watching man vs food about 2-3 weeks ago, and they were showcasing the "fat cat" sandwich from new brunswick, nj. i would love to try this out one day, i know it's just as fat, but still, it looks alot better than the double down...

i've had that before. it's ok. What i prefer is the mcain triple chocolate cake thingy and the tiramisu cake from highland farms or wherever it may be. its the one in a yellow wrapping. f-ing de-licious!
