And Now, Times Critic Sam Sifton with a Double Down!

Here's a little treat from Eater National's ongoing coverage of the arrival of the Double Down, KFC's breadless fried chicken sandwich and one of the most unhealthy and egregious fast food items to hit the nation. Times critic Sam Sifton, as promised, went to a Midtown KFC today to fulfill his journalistic duty and consume the monster. Here he is taking notes and marinating on the complex flavors of the meal. Expect his full review on Diner's Journal ASAP, and click through for more photos.
