EDGE READ TIME: 1 MIN.
KFC is taking Atkins to the extreme.
Kentucky Fried Chicken Philippines announced sales of the new "Double Down Dog" sandwich, a new menu item featuring a cheese covered hot dog in a bun made of fried chicken.
"The all new, outrageously meaty KFC Double Down Dog will be available from January 26-27" read a post on KFC's Philippines' Facebook page. "Only 50 pieces will be sold per day! So make sure you don't miss this legendary sandwich!"
The Double Down Dog is the latest incarnation of the popular fast food chain's Double Down Sandwich which contains "bacon, two different kinds of melted cheese, the Colonel's secret sauce... pinched in between two pieces of Original Recipe chicken fillets." According to Wikipedia , the 540 calorie sandwich has 32 grams of fat.
Currently, there are no plans to make the Double Down Dog a menu item within the global chain.
