Grand Slamming the Double Down

Guys honestly I can't hear any more about the Double Down. Since this hype-generating monstristy emerged in the U.S. I have been bombarded with calls, texts, wall posts, smoke signals, smoked meat faxes etc. This Sandwich is famous in a way that Paris Hilton and Snooki have made the norm in the 21st century.


I hereby agree to NEVER review, eat, or otherwise discuss the Double Down on this blog.   


And besides,  if you want a pure monstrosity of artery-clogging Sandwich Hare-Kare, I offer you this recent monstrosity I had at Denny's. Despite the silly political wrangling over the issue, the Double Down seems like lo-cal fair in comparison to  THE GRAND SLAMWICH!!!!.


The Grands Slamwich consists of: 

  • Scrambled Eggs
  • Sausage
  • Bacon 
  • Ham (therefore it contains the Pig Trifecta)
  • Gobs of Mayonnaise 
  • Processed cheese

All between two pieces of maple-glazed thick toast.

Here I am  smiling while awaiting the inevitable  Pig-Coma




This thing pretty much equals death weighing it at a COLOSSAL 1230 Calories, with 89!!!!!!! grams of fat. 

vs. the pitiful in comparison Double Down:

Impressions :



  • Really Pork-y. I'm pretty sure "Babe" spoke to me on the third bite. 
  • Due to the varied contents of the Sandwich, each bite offered a different mixture of tastes, textures & salt... lots of salt. 
  • Decent maintenance of Sandwich Integrity. 
  • Sluggishness began to set in by 2nd half of Sandwich.
  • Scrambled eggs reminded me of warming tray eggs at a Holiday Inn Express complimentary breakfast. 
  • WAY too much mayo.
  • Real cheese would have added a much-needed sharpness to this Sandwich. 
Overall Judgment: 

4.5/10
