Thank you, Mr. Peterson. No way of knowing how many great moments I've shared with people over one of these delicious sandwiches.


Absolutely, imo, the best thing on the Mickey D menu and it should be an all-hours option. Cheers, Herb. RIP.

i'm more of a Sausage McMuffin man myself

i can see not doing the breakfast sandwiches all day, but they should totally make hash browns all day, i'd much rather have a couple of those than fries
