I first had one of these 18 months ago in NYC, and I am still talking about it. So when KFC decided to bring back The Double (as it is known in the land of Oz) just for today and tomorrow, I did a little happy dance.

There are a lot of haters out there about KFC and this particular breadless burger, but I don’t really give a flying fluck.
