Double Down

Bacon, cheese, 
spicy mayonaise,
served between two fried 
breasts of chicken.

Using meat 
instead of bread.
A sitcom gag 
brought to life.

When it debuted,
in "special markets,"
people thought it was a joke.
In my heart of hearts,
I still do.

Or perhaps, my heart  
just wants it to be;
seeing it's mere existence 
as a threat to my health.

"Don't worry," 
the menu coos,
"it's most available fried,
but can be grilled too."
