KFC Famous Bowls

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Kentucky Fried Chicken Famous Bowls… they’re famous, after all. How they managed to be famous the instant they were released is a mystery, but if KFC says they’re famous, who am I to disagree with the Colonel?
The concept, in theory, is fairly simple: take everything you’d get in a good ol’ “just-like-Mom-used-to-take-out” KFC dinner and chuck it all in a bowl. Like a big meat smoothie. Mmmmmm.
So here’s the deal. The Famous Bowl consists of layers, in order:
- Processed flake “mashed” potatoes
- Processed flake gravy
- Corn (no, seriously)
- Fried chicken parts of unknown origin
- More salty gravy
- Three kinds of processed cheese
So naturally, I had to try one.
It was really quite good. I mean, yes, the processed sinew chicken part kept rolling off my fork, but once I learned to mash it down into the pureed potato, corn, and gravy paste in order to keep it in place, I was okay. And yes, I couldn’t quite figure out what part of the chicken I was eating, but c’mon, it’s KFC – you learn to live with that. And the “mashed” potatoes were a bit more like potato-flavored gruel covered in salty meat-juice gravy. And I’ll admit, the combined textures of corn and gravy were rather peculiar, but…
But other than those minor complaints and the vaguely toxic feel of the whole thing, it was great!
I think we should expand this layered-bowl concept to other restaurants:
- McDonald’s – A layer of grits, topped with French Fries, catsup, Chicken McNuggets, and (of course) cheese, in a covered bowl you can shake up. I’m lovin’ it.
- Taco Bell – a tortilla filled with a layer of rice topped with beans, cheese, beef, pico de gallo, and… wait. That actually sounds pretty good.
- Burger King – a layer of meat, topped with meat, and covered in a three-meat blend.
Plus, this new KFC confabulation has the added benefit of increased cardiological demand! So support your local struggling pharmaceutical company and eat a KFC Famous Bowl today.
Pros:
- It’s portable
- It’s a conversation starter (“What in the bloody hell is that?!?”)
- It’s monochromatic in shades of yellow/brown.
Cons:
- It’s mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, chicken bits, and cheese. Mixed together, for God’s sake.
Note: Apparently, I’m not the only one who finds these things horrifying. Smivey thinks they suck as well. But then, Smivey thinks everything sucks.

Ha. Had to one up me, did you? Well, so be it. I sure as hell ain’t gonna try eating that crap. My favorite idea of yours is the Burger King one.
Yes, Smivey. After years of blogging in your shadow, I decided to break free. This is my opus!
it looks good. no, really.
i would add some rice into it. yummmyyyyyy
i am a food bin. sigh.
How have i never heard of these world famous bowls?
I agree the mystery combo process is scary. But I am recovering from a nasty cold and this “bowl” is really filling the “comfort food” slot.
Its gross but thats ok, it tastes good and I am only gonna indulge just this once……
seriously saved so much money going through these guys…
