KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowl

kfcbowl.jpgI have very fond memories of my dad bringing home some Kentucky Fried Chicken for my family to feast on back when I was a kid. Of course my standards for good food have gotten higher since then, and I rarely get an opportunity to eat at KFC anymore. Luckily, the folks over at KFC were gracious enough to send me a Cheesy Bacon Bowl Taste Test Kit, which included among many things, $25 in KFC gift cards for me to try out their new item. It had been a while since I've tried one of their Famous Bowls, so I wasn't too sure of what to expect out of this new one. To put it shortly, let's just say that I found a reason to go to KFC way more often. The potatoes were buttery and velvety, which provided for a very tasty glue that held the rest of the bowl together. The corn was surprisingly fresh. The chicken was soft, and the coating wasn't exactly crispy but it still added a unique texture. The cheese was initially somewhat cold, and it was interesting to taste the contrast between that and the thick, hot gravy. As for the bacon, it was definitely more substantial than your standard bacon bits- irresistibly salty and chewy. The best part is when these ingredients blend together to become a hot and delicious mess of flavor and texture. If you've never tried a Famous Bowl at KFC before, now's a better time than ever to go out and try one of the best examples of comfort food I can think of.

Phoood rating: Outstanding!

I found it to be quite good also. It was a comfort food that brought back childhood memories.

Would it have tasted as good if you had to pay for it yourself?

ok this was a bit disapointing. when i saw it at first i thought mmmmm. then i payed and viewed the snack cup i was given and felt taken. i will admit what there was of it was tasty. but simply look at the over sized rim on the bowl then turn it sideways and notice the actual cup size serving you get. if you are hungry and rich order at least 4. but if you need to fill up with out breaking the bank pass this one up.
