I live in Baja Mexico. Every time I drive down after visiting the states I make sure to carry home a sack of sausage cheese Mcmuffins and put them in the freezer. When you thaw them out and reheat them in the microwave, they are JUST as good. It's a massive treat!
I had a hyperfixation over sausage egg mcmuffin last year. Making them at home that is. Even borrowed a stand mixer to facilitate the baking. Then I more or less perfected it. Suddenly I stopped tasting like dopamine and I haven't made it since.
I actually worked at the original location where Herb developed the Egg McMuffin, the Goleta store off of Fairview. According to my boss, Herb while he was inspired by the early morning foot traffic on the State Street, he did a lot of the experimenting at the Goleta location. I worked there the summer of 2016 while they gutted the 90's interior and replaced it with a shrine to the egg McMuffin and Herb, including the original prototype egg ring behind a bulletproof glass box. At the same time David Peterson actually was going through a nasty divorce and sold off all but two (according to my boss) of his location,Golata Fairview and Goleta Storke Rd) to another Franchisee from Carpinteria including the coveted State Street location, which is shame because the employee orientation room behind the State Street location is bedecked with awards and historical memorabilia. I've only met David in passing a couple of times as an employee (the franchise office is literally a little house next to the Fairview location). If you're ever in the Goleta area for breakfast go to the Fairview location and go inside and look at the giant mural of Herb on the wall while you eat your McMuffin its a interesting experience.
I also miss all-day breakfast, but it doesn't really matter anymore anyways, as I can't really afford to eat at McDonald's since they raised their prices
that sucks. Mcdonalds in canada or in my province has been 24/7 breakfast for years. We love coffee and breakfast though lol. Mcdonalds coffee is different in Canada im told as well, its so good.
@@Ultimita01 Note to self: Drive up to Canada... Seriously, if they still did it 24/7 here, it's all I would get. Especially since they made it to order, so it was always fresh. Well, as fresh as McDonald's can be, anyway
@@oraghallaigh4421 yeah its always fresh, thats why I eat breakfast there 24/7 lol. Mcdonalds in canada also has great coffee and bakery I am told compared to the american counterpart. I heard its the original tim hortons coffee and I believe it as tim hortons is beyond garbage these days.
Ah, the Mcmuffin~ Only Weird History Food would make me crave breakfast after I just ate lol. I'll have to plan a trip to McDonald's this weekend. I would love to see a video about Mcgriddles and/or McDonald's breakfast menu.
I still remember the very first one I ever had (it was the first time I'd ever tasted English muffin or Canadian bacon). It was 1974 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana... at the McDonalds at 4615 Perkins Road. That building has been replaced by a newer one in recent years, the internet tells me, but the location is the same. My maternal grandmother asked the manager what was in them and she made more at home for me. 😊
I appreciate that one of the most iconic breakfast sandwiches of all time was created with the help of JULIA CHILD. And that started the fast food breakfast trend. History is so funny sometimes 😂
You missed an almost forgotten aspect of the Egg McMuffin. While they were test marketing it, it wasn't served in the box we get nowadays. Instead, it came in a flat tray, open faced, with a small tub of strawberry preserves on the side. I remember having it this way multiple times at the McDonalds near the University of Wisconsin Campus in Madison in late 1972. The first couple times my American upbringing rejected the idea of sweet and savory, but on about the third time I put the preserves on the sandwich before closing it up. They are delicious this way, and I don't like to eat one any other way. Yes, it's not on the menu, but McDonalds still offers packets of strawberry preserves to those in the know.
Here in Michigan McDonald's eliminated all day breakfast right after Covid. Being the marijuana is legal here this was a huge mistake due to the collective munchies that half the state suffers from.
I was just thinking the same thing. When I had my kitchen remodeled a decade ago, I had McMuffin at least 4 or 5 days a week ... haven't had one in a decade ... need to try again!

@@SlyPearTree they sell these nice little silicone ring molds ( orange in color with a little "egg" handle) at Walmart that not only are great for eggs, but I use them to mold my ground sausage for *perfectly* round sausage patties. My wife brought home four of them (retired here, as well) so I can make enough at one time that we can both eat together. Before that, I suffered the *"Cook's Curse..."* always having to eat after I've made her's first.
I'm going to need you to explain what sort of wizard secrets are involved in the McGriddle. I understand what a Muffin is, I am unsure how a Gridle got alchemy-fused into a loaded pancake though.
I’m sure I’ve seen a video about the McGriddle on TH-cam before, I think this channel already did a video on it. It could’ve been Joshua Weissman though, I’m not sure.
My favorite fast food breakfast menu is at Hardee’s. Nice, fluffy, buttery biscuits. And decent coffee. That said, I make my breakfast at home most days because I drink smoothies frequently.
When they fried the English muffins on the grill the mcmuffins were the best thing ever. Now they run them through the toster/bun warmer, and it makes them rubbery. Also, they stopped using the butter flavored oil on them, so they taste dry. It's just not good anymore.
Blame the franchisees, not the company. They’re the ones who bitched and moaned to corporate what a “logistical nightmare” It was to have everything necessary for breakfast all day. SMDH *😤*
@a.grimes4202 Okay, I'm gonna come to their defense (mostly the employees' defense) and corroborate that this WAS a nightmare. I worked for McDs as a cook during the tail end of the all day breakfast era and it genuinely was a pain in the ass to have to stop making burgers, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets to go and make fresh eggs, sausages, etc and all that. It truly does hurt the flow of everyone and fucks with our time/stats, ESPEICALLY if your store is understaffed -- like mine was (my franchise was strict with time and dished out penalties like you wouldn't believe...). As a customer I miss all day breakfast, but as an ex employee I can totally see why they're hesitant to implement it again.
Unfortunately not all McDonald's offer All Day Breakfast. I think as a whole they might have gotten rid of it because of having to have the breakfast equipment ready all day slowed everything down
Egg McMuffin is the only item I'll eat at McDonald's... Mostly for nostalgic reasons. It's some of the best memories I had with my father as a kid. He would put grape jelly on it so it wasn't so dry and I would eat the whole thing. I still do that whenever I get one from time to time.
I have decided to recreate my own breakfast sandwiches at home. I did alright with the egg mcmuffin and I did okay on the ham egg and cheese croissant sandwich. It gets expensive to eat out these days!
I AGREE!! Best to "pre-prepare" them, if you 'must'. And freeze them. DELICIOUS...if done "right".....AND, "like the jingle"...."you do it all for you".....and "YOURS"!!!! THE WAY PEOPLE "OUGHT" TO DO.....ANYTHING!!!!👍😁🫡
I never tried a McMuffin, but I have tried Burger King's croissantwich and hashbrowns! They are delicious IMO, maybe it's my local Burger King that does them well? I saw the Burger Chef clip and got sad, considering all of the wasted potential the defunct chain had. They even made a kid's meal before Mcdonald's did! I'd love to see Weird History videos on Burger Chef and Jack In The Box. For Jack In The Box, PLEASE talk about the 1970s era, as nobody ever seems to mention that era of JITB. Rodney Allen Rippy was their spokesperson, but Jack In The Box also had an animated version of Jack, as well as other characters, as their mascots throughout the 70s. Unfortunately, only three commercials [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box animated commercial 1970s], and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us] are on TH-cam, but I'm glad we even have those considering how poorly documented pre 90s JITB history is. Paul Winchell, best known as the voice of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh, did the voices of 70s era Jack and the other characters. It's most noticeable with Jack himself and Onion Ring Thing.
Used to love getting the sausage McMuffins for 2 for $2 a long time ago. Then it went to 2 for $4. Now I would just go buy the muffins, eggs, and sausage patties from the stores and just cook it for the family.
I dislike this, at least make the sizes bigger, add some special ingredient or throw in a phone case... something. Not just sneakily push the cost up At least lie to us, make us believe we are getting value, your so good at it, make me believe i made the right decision instead of leaving me staring at the bumper of another car while i slurp my extra jumbo coffee and chow my plastic chow
Back in the very early '80's, there was a Mcdonalds that served Egg Mcmuffins all day. A glorious afternoon snack with coffee (?) at 3:00! I still miss the full breakfasts - scrambled eggs, pancakes, etc. and I wish Mcdonald's would bring them back even if the scrambled eggs needed pancake syrup for flavor LOL!!!!
I'm actually a bigger fan of Wendy's newest breakfast menu - give me a breakfast Baconator over a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McMuffin any day. And considering it's still around despite launching during a pandemic, I think this one is here to stay. A dive into Wendy's history of breakfast menus would be a good topic!
The Sausage Egg McMuffin is one of my favorite fast food items. I never tried it until a friend who worked at McD’s told me they crack fresh eggs in the restaurant - before that, I assumed it was all scrambled from a carton and never cared to try it.
My favorite McDonalds breakfast item has been discontinued. I don't remember what it was called, but it was essentially a "steak" sandwich using a bagel, onions, and a garlic sauce.
Great video. Interesting fact: in some McD restaurants in Muslim countries, they use Chicken Sausage, Chicken ham or Chicken patties for their McMuffins.
I genuinely love how restaurants are willing to alter their recipes to account for people with different dietary needs or wants. I'm not a vegan or anything but a restaurant that has options always makes things easier for crowds, when everyone might have different needs.
... and Subway Sandwich shops in the UK removed all pork products from some of their stores entirely. No ham... No bacon... for ANYONE!! So attempts to pander don't always turn out so great.
@@nasoj3029 _Some_ stores, yeah. Snopes in 2014 says: "In the United States, Subway has several kosher franchises that do not carry pork products or serve dairy with meat. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, fewer than 200 out of 1,500 Subway sandwich franchises conform to Muslim dietary restrictions" And a 2023 page says "In the United Kingdom, 202 of the 2,000 Subway locations serve halal-only meat by Sharia law" I expect these are either located in very Muslim neighborhoods, owned by Muslim franchisees, or both.
I just so happen to always take my lunch break on thursday at the exact time of these uploads 😂, Its become something to look forward to every thursday
I worked in Pittsburgh PA for McDonald's from 1982-1984! The Mcfuffen was a Breakfast Staple! Breaking two eggs at a time was what made you to the top for cooking them! It's said that today It is Still the Only Item That is Cooked to Order! Between that and the Double Cheeseburger?! Only Things I order from Them! Oh!! The Memories!
Loved Egg McMuffins with a side of hash browns. Best when fresh, lol. I stopped eating Egg McMuffins when they hit like, $3. I don't even go to McD's anymore. As a matter of fact, I stopped most fast foods when my doc threatened to put me on meds.... 😁
They're easier then you think once you get a little practice.

I swear i feel like i'm seeing the same videos about the same foods and food chains all the time but i still wanna watch that Do they repost stuff slightly changed or something? i swear i feel like i saw 'new'(?) McRib video few times
In the little coffee shop/grill in the building where I worked a while back, I was a bit late for my daily Bacon, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwhich. They were already onto the Lunch menu. So ... make it a Bacon Cheeseburger ... on an English, of course. And, oh ... any chance you could throw a fried egg in there? Response: They're your arteries. Cool! And the Official Bacon, Egg & Cheeseburger of the Commonwealth was born. It's gotta have double Bacon & Provolone, ... or it don't count.
I'll forever remember McDonald's breakfast as the laughing-stock of my high school, though: on a few occasions, the school ordered in the breakfasts for the whole class, but the grease melded it to the packaging providing as much comedy as Calories. My go-to fast food breakfast while out and about was the standard A&W toast and eggs with orange juice. That said I haven't had breakfast at a restaurant, fast food or otherwise, for years. I've switched to only having a snack item like a fruit or yogurt at the beginning of the day.
Although I do like McMuffins, I think McGriddles are better. Also, as an Oklahoman, I was shocked to hear that Sonic is more popular for breakfast here than McDonald's! I rarely eat at either place, but I've definitely been to McDonald's far more often than Sonic, especially for breakfast!
When i worked, i would sometimes get mcdonalds biscuit with sausage and egg, big breakfast, deluxe breakfaast, and 2 sausage burritos sometimes with mild sauce, extra scrambled egg, extra folded egg. I think mcdonalds stopped the all day breakfast after 2016 or 2017. I liked all day breakfast. I like chocolate shake and shamrock shake sometimes. At home, i make scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage crumbles and spinach quesedilla.
I don’t usually eat Micky D’s breakfasts but when I’m traveling and need a quick breakfast fix there’s really nothing more satisfying than an egg McMuffin and a hot coffee from McDonald’s. 25% of all breakfasts eaten away from home are at a McDonald’s? Geez they must be doing something right.
I made so many Egg McMuffins as a kid working at Mickey Ds. I still love em, although the sausage McMuffin with a hashbrown patty right on the sandwich is the best.

After I retired and did not come across a McDonald every morning I started making them myself, I use a ramekin in a toaster oven to cook the egg.
@@SlyPearTree they sell these nice little silicone ring molds ( orange in color with a little "egg" handle) at Walmart that not only are great for eggs, but I use them to mold my ground sausage for *perfectly* round sausage patties. My wife brought home four of them (retired here, as well) so I can make enough at one time that we can both eat together. Before that, I suffered the *"Cook's Curse..."* always having to eat after I've made her's first.
0:14 who doesnt love cheese paper? 9:07 that was bigger than they are now.....
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Fascinating history!
I'm going to need you to explain what sort of wizard secrets are involved in the McGriddle. I understand what a Muffin is, I am unsure how a Gridle got alchemy-fused into a loaded pancake though.
I’m sure I’ve seen a video about the McGriddle on TH-cam before, I think this channel already did a video on it. It could’ve been Joshua Weissman though, I’m not sure.
You should be the narrator for many shows on telly, it'd be a vast improvement if ya ask me.
HOORAY! Our favorite narrator!
My favorite fast food breakfast menu is at Hardee’s. Nice, fluffy, buttery biscuits. And decent coffee. That said, I make my breakfast at home most days because I drink smoothies frequently.
When they fried the English muffins on the grill the mcmuffins were the best thing ever. Now they run them through the toster/bun warmer, and it makes them rubbery. Also, they stopped using the butter flavored oil on them, so they taste dry. It's just not good anymore.
As a chef just wanna appreciate your use and understanding of 86'd
Love Egg McMuffins
Mc Donald's has the best breakfast 😊
Great video thanks ❤😊
I feel like I’m one of the rare people who enjoys the McMuffin & McGriddles equally
They are both beautiful in their own way
McDonald's all day breakfast was amazing. It's a shame they stopped doing it.
Blame the franchisees, not the company. They’re the ones who bitched and moaned to corporate what a “logistical nightmare” It was to have everything necessary for breakfast all day. SMDH *😤*
@a.grimes4202 Okay, I'm gonna come to their defense (mostly the employees' defense) and corroborate that this WAS a nightmare. I worked for McDs as a cook during the tail end of the all day breakfast era and it genuinely was a pain in the ass to have to stop making burgers, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets to go and make fresh eggs, sausages, etc and all that. It truly does hurt the flow of everyone and fucks with our time/stats, ESPEICALLY if your store is understaffed -- like mine was (my franchise was strict with time and dished out penalties like you wouldn't believe...).
As a customer I miss all day breakfast, but as an ex employee I can totally see why they're hesitant to implement it again.
@@EliTheGhost I call *🐎💩* .
Unfortunately not all McDonald's offer All Day Breakfast. I think as a whole they might have gotten rid of it because of having to have the breakfast equipment ready all day slowed everything down
Pathetic excuse. They need to bring it back.
sausage egg and cheese mcgriddles are to die for
I truly love this site !!!
Egg McMuffin is the only item I'll eat at McDonald's... Mostly for nostalgic reasons. It's some of the best memories I had with my father as a kid. He would put grape jelly on it so it wasn't so dry and I would eat the whole thing. I still do that whenever I get one from time to time.
I have decided to recreate my own breakfast sandwiches at home. I did alright with the egg mcmuffin and I did okay on the ham egg and cheese croissant sandwich. It gets expensive to eat out these days!
I AGREE!! Best to "pre-prepare" them, if you 'must'. And freeze them. DELICIOUS...if done "right".....AND, "like the jingle"...."you do it all for you".....and "YOURS"!!!! THE WAY PEOPLE "OUGHT" TO DO.....ANYTHING!!!!👍😁🫡
I never tried a McMuffin, but I have tried Burger King's croissantwich and hashbrowns! They are delicious IMO, maybe it's my local Burger King that does them well? I saw the Burger Chef clip and got sad, considering all of the wasted potential the defunct chain had. They even made a kid's meal before Mcdonald's did! I'd love to see Weird History videos on Burger Chef and Jack In The Box. For Jack In The Box, PLEASE talk about the 1970s era, as nobody ever seems to mention that era of JITB. Rodney Allen Rippy was their spokesperson, but Jack In The Box also had an animated version of Jack, as well as other characters, as their mascots throughout the 70s. Unfortunately, only three commercials [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box animated commercial 1970s], and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us] are on TH-cam, but I'm glad we even have those considering how poorly documented pre 90s JITB history is. Paul Winchell, best known as the voice of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh, did the voices of 70s era Jack and the other characters. It's most noticeable with Jack himself and Onion Ring Thing.
Used to love getting the sausage McMuffins for 2 for $2 a long time ago. Then it went to 2 for $4. Now I would just go buy the muffins, eggs, and sausage patties from the stores and just cook it for the family.
I dislike this, at least make the sizes bigger, add some special ingredient or throw in a phone case... something. Not just sneakily push the cost up
At least lie to us, make us believe we are getting value, your so good at it, make me believe i made the right decision instead of leaving me staring at the bumper of another car while i slurp my extra jumbo coffee and chow my plastic chow
Sandwich came out of my hometown. The old State Street location is still there to this day
Would love to see a video on the Mcgriddle
Back in the very early '80's, there was a Mcdonalds that served Egg Mcmuffins all day. A glorious afternoon snack with coffee (?) at 3:00! I still miss the full breakfasts - scrambled eggs, pancakes, etc. and I wish Mcdonald's would bring them back even if the scrambled eggs needed pancake syrup for flavor LOL!!!!
The sausage mcmuffin with egg is probably my favorite fast food item ever!
2:23 I have The Oregon Trail Card Game on my desk right now!
I'm actually a bigger fan of Wendy's newest breakfast menu - give me a breakfast Baconator over a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McMuffin any day. And considering it's still around despite launching during a pandemic, I think this one is here to stay.
A dive into Wendy's history of breakfast menus would be a good topic!
Their "new" chicken biscuit is pretty....DA**ED...."good"!! too....👍😁
He's back!!!!!
I can’t listen to these videos if he’s not doing the narration
The Sausage Egg McMuffin is one of my favorite fast food items. I never tried it until a friend who worked at McD’s told me they crack fresh eggs in the restaurant - before that, I assumed it was all scrambled from a carton and never cared to try it.
99.9% of the time I eat very healthily but maybe twice a year I’d walk over my granny for a Sausage McMuffin with Egg.
McDonald's stopped serving breakfast all day in some states, a few years ago now
I want a McMuffin rn...
Tasty. I'm salivating. The fact that meat ira filled with mysteries salt pepper and!
Thank goodness they got the right narrator, I really wanted to hear this one!
I love McDonald's Philippines' breakfast menu too. 😊😊😊
When I worked at mcds we used to argue about the biscuit 'tails'. ( the remaining bicuit dough/ end piece to keep them all same size)So yummy.
If i could eat a double sausage and egg McMuffin every day i would.
".. the team that dreamt up Ronald McDonald and the nightmares of small children have never been the same" - I chuckled hard LOL
McD's breakfast menu items are the only foods from there my digestive system can handle.
Breakfast is what I get when i go to McDonald's. Plus iced coffee. However, learning that sooners are a bunch of breakfast rebels made me laugh.
Ty for saying “Mayor McCheese!”
My favorite McDonalds breakfast item has been discontinued. I don't remember what it was called, but it was essentially a "steak" sandwich using a bagel, onions, and a garlic sauce.
they got em in nj. near nyc. road trip anyone?
Great vid. McDonalds to this day really rules the fast food breakfast wave. I have a question; why was the big breakfast taken off the menu?
It’s not. LOL
Great video. Interesting fact: in some McD restaurants in Muslim countries, they use Chicken Sausage, Chicken ham or Chicken patties for their McMuffins.
I genuinely love how restaurants are willing to alter their recipes to account for people with different dietary needs or wants. I'm not a vegan or anything but a restaurant that has options always makes things easier for crowds, when everyone might have different needs.
... and Subway Sandwich shops in the UK removed all pork products from some of their stores entirely. No ham... No bacon... for ANYONE!!
So attempts to pander don't always turn out so great.
@@nasoj3029 _Some_ stores, yeah. Snopes in 2014 says:
"In the United States, Subway has several kosher franchises that do not carry pork products or serve dairy with meat.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, fewer than 200 out of 1,500 Subway sandwich franchises conform to Muslim dietary restrictions"
And a 2023 page says "In the United Kingdom, 202 of the 2,000 Subway locations serve halal-only meat by Sharia law"
I expect these are either located in very Muslim neighborhoods, owned by Muslim franchisees, or both.
I just so happen to always take my lunch break on thursday at the exact time of these uploads 😂,
Its become something to look forward to every thursday
I worked in Pittsburgh PA for McDonald's from 1982-1984! The Mcfuffen was a Breakfast Staple! Breaking two eggs at a time was what made you to the top for cooking them!
It's said that today It is Still the Only Item That is Cooked to Order! Between that and the Double Cheeseburger?! Only Things I order from Them!
Oh!! The Memories!
Loved Egg McMuffins with a side of hash browns. Best when fresh, lol. I stopped eating Egg McMuffins when they hit like, $3.
I don't even go to McD's anymore. As a matter of fact, I stopped most fast foods when my doc threatened to put me on meds.... 😁
They're easier then you think once you get a little practice. I make these for my family twice a week; usually ham but sometimes sausage & even occasionally thin-sliced steak. and you haven't seen a price per sandwich like this since the 80's. We call them *"MockMuffins"* 😉

I like the Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle for $1.08.
10:30 A is the cutoff time for breakfast.
My favorite fast food breakfast is at Hardees / Carl's Junior's (Depending on what state you are in).
It's the good narrator, nice.
Love McDonald's breakfast. That stuff should be a food group. The McGriddles are awesome. 😊
The only thing I really still like a McDonald’s, Egg McMuffin and coffee, especially when they go on sale…
Sale? The only time i get discount food is if i worked there, 50% off for employees, too bad mercedes dont have the same policy 😂 imagine a gullwing for the price of a kia
@@Sandi_shores_lands_fish 4$ bucks Canadian, or 3$ US, McMuffin and large coffee, goes on sale twice a year here in Toronto…. I get lots!
Good episode, I'm about to make a cheeseburger for breakfast.
"The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast!"
Spam, Spam, Spam, Sausage, Eggs, Bacon, Baked Beans, and Spam.
You forgot something
I swear i feel like i'm seeing the same videos about the same foods and food chains all the time but i still wanna watch that
Do they repost stuff slightly changed or something?
i swear i feel like i saw 'new'(?) McRib video few times
In the little coffee shop/grill in the building where I worked a while back, I was a bit late for my daily Bacon, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwhich. They were already onto the Lunch menu. So ... make it a Bacon Cheeseburger ... on an English, of course. And, oh ... any chance you could throw a fried egg in there?
Response: They're your arteries.
Cool! And the Official Bacon, Egg & Cheeseburger of the Commonwealth was born. It's gotta have double Bacon & Provolone, ... or it don't count.
Steak, egg, and cheese bagel. That is all.
Yes!
The egg McMuffin is indirectly responsible for the creation of the breakfast Crunchwrap, and for that it has my thanks.
My favorite burger!
I'll forever remember McDonald's breakfast as the laughing-stock of my high school, though: on a few occasions, the school ordered in the breakfasts for the whole class, but the grease melded it to the packaging providing as much comedy as Calories.
My go-to fast food breakfast while out and about was the standard A&W toast and eggs with orange juice.
That said I haven't had breakfast at a restaurant, fast food or otherwise, for years. I've switched to only having a snack item like a fruit or yogurt at the beginning of the day.
watching this while eating a sausage egg mcmuffin, an immersive experience. Better than 3D!
Although I do like McMuffins, I think McGriddles are better. Also, as an Oklahoman, I was shocked to hear that Sonic is more popular for breakfast here than McDonald's! I rarely eat at either place, but I've definitely been to McDonald's far more often than Sonic, especially for breakfast!
Instantly love this channel for the Baps reference
Ooo the breakfast sandwich ❤
Notice how the food in those classic commercials looks like its actually prepared on site instead of made in a factory, frozen, and reheated.
When i worked, i would sometimes get mcdonalds biscuit with sausage and egg, big breakfast, deluxe breakfaast, and 2 sausage burritos sometimes with mild sauce, extra scrambled egg, extra folded egg.
I think mcdonalds stopped the all day breakfast after 2016 or 2017. I liked all day breakfast.
I like chocolate shake and shamrock shake sometimes.
At home, i make scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage crumbles and spinach quesedilla.
I am 55 and have NEVER eaten Mc Donald's breakfast. Stek and eggs is my choice and always at home or cooked on the engine when traveling.
I don’t usually eat Micky D’s breakfasts but when I’m traveling and need a quick breakfast fix there’s really nothing more satisfying than an egg McMuffin and a hot coffee from McDonald’s. 25% of all breakfasts eaten away from home are at a McDonald’s? Geez they must be doing something right.
Nothing like having a Sausage/Egg McMuffin before a long road trip.
I made so many Egg McMuffins as a kid working at Mickey Ds. I still love em, although the sausage McMuffin with a hashbrown patty right on the sandwich is the best.
As the Egg McMuffin approaches $6 for one, I've reconsidered my love for them.
If you are in the West End of Toronto, you need to try the Gold Standard Breakfast Sandwich. gives the McMuff a run for its money!
