We employ the chiral quark model which is assumed to be applicable, "bottom-up," toward chiral restoration while accessible to kaon condensation in the hadronic sector. Approaching "bottom-up" the high density regime is more appropriate in addressing the properties of compact stars than approaching "top-down" from asymptotic QCD. It turns out that the presence of hadronic kaon condensation makes the electron-free charge-neutral CFL phase energetically more favorable with a relatively small color-superconducting gap $Δ_0\sim 20$ MeV compared to $Δ_0\sim 70$ MeV required in the absence of such kaon condensation.13pages, 3 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear TheoryKaon Condensation and Enforced Charge Neutrality of the Color-Flavor Locked Phasetext
