Chicken Deuce











hey there fellow fatties,

I was just watchin some cable t.v. and saw Jack In the Box's commercial for the Really Big Chicken Sandwich. Just in case you don't have cable t.v. this thing is two chicken patties (each with their own slice of cheese) bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo sitting between a toasted bun.
Flash back about a month ago onto west 11th in Eugene, OR. An Astro van eagerly drove thru a drive thru at KFC to order a double down combo. This was also the x2 chicken sandwich also with cheese and bacon that came out this year. Only difference was that their bun WAS the chicken. It sounded terrific, but at the same time I knew it's something that has probably been tried in the passed and failed. But when a major restaurant chain does it, it's curious to see how they pull it off even if I did get a perfectly executed version of it.
Upon eating the double down, I was as curious to see if this thing had a half size wrapper so that a commuter could eat this while driving? Yes. The first bite didn't land any melted cheese so I immediately took another lunge to get some nice melted cheesy bacon center. Man did it deliver. The cheese cave was a bit much to handle. I felt like I immediately got a headache and figured I just needed to finish this thing for it to do it's job.
This crazy concoction took me out for about a two hour nap. Not an easy task. I would still consider that this sandwich can work. Couple of things that need to be addressed is the scale of chicken to cheese. Now stick with me here, make this guys about half the size so they are double downer snacks. Also instead of the chicken being the shape of oatmeal raisin cookies, make them the shape of boneless chicken breasts but cut in half. I think if the chicken wants to act like a bun it's going to have to start looking like a bun.
I anxiously await for my experience with this Jack In the Box, as it will be my first time ever to endeavor since the Jack In the Box back in my hometown of Rochester, New York found some doo doo on a counter of something. I'm on the other side of the country so I'm hoping I'm dealing with a qualified sandwich team.
