  • Take a trip with Weird History Food, to the very germ of an idea that was breakfast sandwhiches. Though we have all lost count of exactly how many delectable Egg McMuffins we have all consumed, is hard to imagine a world in which Egg McMuffins just did not exist. How did they even come about? What brilliance created this morning mainstay?
    Grab yourself a McMuffin or two, and scarf down this video treat - its available ALL Day, every Day!

    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.

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 That building has been replaced by a newer one in recent years, the internet tells me, but the location is the same.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. 😊

    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 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 CZcams, 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.

    McDonald's for breakfast is the only place my wife cares to go to because she just doesn't like fast food places. So, about once every other week on average, before getting groceries, we go to McDonald's where she always gets the Egg McMuffin. I try to mix it up a bit. I usually get the Sausage McMuffin. Those are really good if you need to eat them while driving as they tend to hold together.

    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.

    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.

      @EliTheGhost Před měsícem

      ​@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.

      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"* 😉
      Muffins ($3.44 ÷ 10)
      Eggs ($6.53 ÷ 18)
      Cheese ($13.97÷ 72)

    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.
