I was recently turned on to a series of articles on topcultured.com entitled “Will They Build It?” In each installment of this series, the fine folks at Topcultured invent a dish that theoretically would be served at a fast food restaurant. Then, the authors attempt to persuade the employees of these establishments to actually create the dish.
The “Double Bacon Rodeo State Fair Cheeseburger” was featured on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien”. At just over 1,500 calories, this Burger King dish consists of a combination of 2 Rodeo Cheeseburgers and 9 Funnel Cake Sticks. For the layman, you start with a sesame seed bun, onion rings, Funnel Cake Sticks, bacon, barbeque sauce, cheese, and a beef patty. Then, you repeat said ingredients. Voila! Only 85g of fat!
The inspirational KFC Double Down has caused quite a stir among the media. This actual menu item at Kentucky Fried Chicken is concocted with two fried (or grilled) chicken breasts. Inside these two poultry buns one can find bacon and cheese. Yum! Topcultured took this monstrosity one step further to compose the “Elvis Fried Chicken Double Down”. Added to the original Double Down is two slices of toasted bread, sliced bananas, and peanut butter. It sounds fairly gross but evidently is great in execution!
God knows that we have need for food. God ordered the ravens to feed Elijah (1 Kings 17:4) and Jesus fed the 5,000 (Matthew 14:13-21). God feeds all living things (Psalm 145:15-16). We have deeper needs than food (Luke 12:23). God didn’t pamper Elijah or his people during the Exodus. Ultimately, our security must be found in making God our greatest desire. I’ve often pondered why things like the Double Down aren’t all that good for us. Consider the grip gluttony has on now. Imagine our response to healthy fried chicken. “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).
