Its always a bit miserable when you hear about something delicious that youve got limited chances of actually eating.
All those amazing fast food menu items around the world, for example (Burger King halloumi burger, Im looking longingly at you). Limited edition foods available on just one day that you happen to be working.
Normally the difficulty getting hold of these treats only makes us want them more, which is probably exactly what the big brands are hoping for. Thats how you end up with massive cues for a fairly standard meal.
But in this case, KFC has taken the tactic strangely far.
The chicken brand is serving up a special burger for one day only… but only in one KFC branch in Bolton.
The #Burger (yes, that hashtag is there deliberately) is the creation of KFC employee Rick Holt, who won a competition asking KFC team members to come up with a new recipe.

Ricks #Burger is a combo of four Original Recipe mini fillets stacked in a #, crispy bacon, cheese, lettuce, Kansas BBQ sauce, and ranch dressing, all in a # branded glazed bun.
Sounds nice, right?
Unfortunately for anyone who wants to try that burger, however, its only available on Thursday 23 August in Boltons KFC Linkway restaurant in Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park.
A portion of the sales of each burger will be donated to The KFC Foundation – a charity initiative which supports the development and nurturing of young people, by offering them safe spaces to socialise, the chance to find a job and people to speak to through mentoring programmes.
Now, if wed won a competition in recipe innovation, wed want out snazzy new burger to be served far and wide, but clearly KFC has other plans. Unless youre in Bolton this Thursday, you wont be able to get your hands on Ricks burger. Sad.

Rick commented: I cant believe that a burger that I designed is actually going to be sold in the restaurant where I began my career. Its truly epic. Aside from appearing on Ninja Warrior, its probably the best thing Ive ever done.

Oh, sweet Rick.
Weve reached out to KFC to find out why the burger is only being served in one Bolton restaurant for one day, who told us: #The burger was created as part of a competition for KFC team members to create their own KFC burger with the prize being the chance for the burger to go into restaurant for one day only. The reason its Bolton as Rick, the winner, started his career in that particular restaurant.
If you are #blessed enough to be in Bolton on Thursday 23 August, you can grab a #Burger for £4.19 on its own or for £5.19 as a meal.
