Patton Oswalt has riffed on the KFC Famous Bowls for several years, calling it "a failure pile in a sadness bowl." You can see a sample here. But had never actually eaten one.
Kentucky Fried Chicken had filled a bowl with gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, breaded chicken, and finally, cheese. Shut-ins, people afflicted with Prader-Willi Syndrome, and manic-depressives also do this. If you're trying to make a fortune in the food and beverage industry, those are the three demographics to shoot for—the Famous Bowl is one of the bestselling items on the KFC menu.KFC calls it their version of the shepherd's pie. Shepherds in Kentucky must be full of rage and slathered in confusion. They must hang their fat, skin, and muscles from bones carved with runes of surrender.
Until now. The AV Club presented the challenge, and Oswalt purchased one -he even took a picture of it, as you can see. Then wrote about his venture and reactions, which you can read in the A.V. Club Taste Test Special. Personally, I'll say that KFC food is better here in Kentucky than in Los Angeles, but I have never tried a Famous Bowl.
