KFC: Raising the Bun

KFC went bunless last year with the protein and saturated fat-rich Double Down burger. Now, it has raised the bar for chicken sandwiches with The Tower Burger: placing a chicken fillet, cheese, lettuce and hash brown between its buns. Can this fit in YOUR mouth? Try it out. I know where I'm having lunch today.:)


My feedback on the bun can be summed up in one sentence: it's big, salty and it'll make you wanna drop by McDonald's for their breakfast menu. The Tower Burger was fun to it but that's it. It tastes really salty and I blame that on the mayonnaise! The lettuce, as usual, was not really green green but pail green, which automatically let me know that its nutritional value when from high to super low. On a more positive note, it's always nice to bite into something crispy when sinking your teeth into a soft bun and tender chicken fillet and that's what the hash brown provided. It also made me yearn for a McDonald's b-fast though, a Sausage McMuffin with Egg with a crispy, golden hash brown to specific. So while this burger is fun and on the safe side of filling, it's a one-timer. I'd trade it in for a McDonald's breakfast any day.
