Double Down Thursday

The 50-day journey to Firebaugh is past the two-thirds mark and Wednesday brought a good 24-hour pitstop where radio silence ruled the day.

Yet, worry not. It’s time for ‘Double Down Thursday’ as a delayed Day 36 of ’50 Miles in 50 Days’ is all about the road food we find in Coalinga.

Double Down Thursday gets a double meaning as we snag the KFC Double Down.

As the folks at KFC explain, it’s “bacon, two different kinds of melted cheese, the Colonel’s secret sauce… pinched in between two pieces of Original Recipe chicken fillets.”

KFC in the Philippines by the way has started catering to the local tastes with a Double Down Dog.

You guessed it… a hot dog wrapped in fried chicken and covered in cheese.

Too bad Coalinga is a good half a world away from Manila.
