It’s not often you see fast food from around the world outdoing the sodium-laden, artery-clogging and calorie-loaded fast food of the United States. But globalization is sometimes a wonderful thing, and its latest product hails from KFC South Korea.
The Zinger Double Down King is the latest in the KFC Double Down evolutionary line, which had its humble beginnings in 2010 with two fried chicken fillets acting as buns to encase cheese and bacon. Now, the Zinger Double Down King (Zinger refers to the spicy chicken available at KFC) includes a beef patty and barbecue sauce.
This fearsome construction of beef, pork and chicken carries 750 calories, but on the bright side, it’s all yours for a very lucky $7!

If you take your cheat days seriously, be sure to check out the other iterations of the Double Down. The Zinger Double Down Maxx, released last year, feature bacon, cheese and a hash brown between the fried chicken buns. It is now apparently a permanent menu item due to popular demand.
Looking for other Asian fast food treats (abominations)? Be sure to check out Burger King Japan’s burger with black cheese and bun and McDonald’s Japan’s response, the black “Squid Ink Burger.”
