The Savory History Of The McMuffin

Does anyone else think this is the best narrator of all on YouTube? ....just so great

McMuffins are the only thing that looks exactly the same as it does in the photos.

the sausage egg McMuffin is a breakfast item i could easily eat every day as long as its hot and fresh...

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 😂

Couldn’t go to McDonald’s before school growing up, it was way out of our way. Mom bought English muffins, Canadian bacon, and fried an egg with a Kraft American cheese single. Tasted perfect!

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 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.

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.

Unfortunately, no McDonald's around me has done All-Day Breakfast since mid-covid. Which is unfortunate.

An Oregon Trail reference works so well for some reason.

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.

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 do like the McMuffins. I haven't had one for a long time, but always enjoyed them.

Jack in the Box was the GOAT because they were the first major chain to serve breakfast all day long before McDs.

Bojangles Chicken Biscuit. THE best biscuits with a boneless Cajun chicken breast & hot coffee.

"It's YOU! McMuffin!!!" 🤣 -Old Drunk, Superbad

My wife and I love to have a McGriddle and Iced Coffee for breakfast when traveling.

When I was a kid, they still played the "There's more in the middle..." jingle.

Idk about yall, but I take a couple bites of my hash brown and then put the rest of it in my egg McMuffin it’s literally the best!
