With the weather turning nice (finally) and the general trout season opener fast approaching, fly fishermen all over the Northern Hemisphere have but one thing on their minds:
What’s for lunch?
The Underground – clearly the Internet leader in really bad-for-you fly fishing food news – knows that not all the Undergrounders have ready access to toxic gas station food the highly revered slaw dog.
But because Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food joints are basically everywhere, we’re offering a glimpse into a new fast food delight that promises to singlehandedly spike the stock of any organization offering cardiac care.
Ladies, gentlemen and Undergrounders, we give you the KFC “Double Down” sandwich:
Ultimate Fly Fishing Food? (Or Death On A Plastic Plate?)
Yes, it appears to be two fried chicken filets wrapped around cheese and bacon. And yes, as the Lunchblog points out, it’s not really a sandwich.
It’s a meat pile.
And finally, it probably should come in carton labeled not “The Double Down” but instead: “The 666 Sandwich.”
And frankly, it’s the Perfect Fly Fishing Food.
Not only would this bad boy provide all the calories needed for even a hard day’s fishing, but in the event of bear attack, you could use it to stop the heart of your attacker, felling the mighty beast in mere seconds.
See you in the cardiac ward, Tom Chandler.
I could easily put 2 of those away after a multiday trip out in the mountains. I’ve done way more. Bring on the 2010 season baby !

Two? Better be sure to bring your Home Angioplasty Kit with you.

According to the KFC site, it’s “only” 540 calories, 23 grams of fat, but kinda high on the sodium at 1,380 mgs. Probably okay if you’re going to out there for a couple of days.
But as we all know, everything taste better with bacon. Everything.

On a good note, you will never run out of floatant for your fly or if want to “grease” your line. And what trout would’nt want take a dry fly with that special KFC fish attractor scent. It should be outlawed already, going to give power bait a run for its money.

So if you put a Wendy’s Baconator versus a McDonald’s Rib-B-Q versus the Double Down in front of the world’s best eating contestants, which one do you think would give heart attack first?
Yeah, unfortunately now that I’ve seen it I have to go try it . . .

Let us know how it goes (assuming you survive).
If you don’t, can I have your stereo?
