McDonald's is testing all-day breakfast

McDonald's is going to experiment with serving breakfast all day.

The chain will start testing a 24-hour breakfast menu next month at several locations in San Diego, the company told Business Insider.

If the test is successful, McDonald's could expand it to other markets.

Business Insider


Oh please let this happen. I will actually go to McDonald's to create Frankenstein food creations.

Imagine a burger with the egg and Canadian bacon from an egg McMuffin on it. Or any of their sandwiches with the hash brown on it. French fries in their breakfast burrito.

The combinations are endless.

What would you mix?

McDonalds breakfast is under heavy attack from Taco Bell. I guess they want something new to talk about.

If possible, their breakfasts are even worse than the rest of their menu. I would rather eat my breakfast at a Truck Stop Diner, where you can actually see them cracking REAL eggs.

I rarely eat bacon and eggs, but when I DO I want the real thing. Allow the extra time, and get a fresh cooked breakfast.

Even though no witness has stepped forward with testimony or evidence that they came out of a hen.

and no cheese...they are all loaded with sodium (if it were Swiss cheese that would be different...it's pretty good sodium wise).

Sure it's made of space-age polymers and high fructose corn syrup, but it's damn tasty. Only once a year though.

I'm surprised their market research didn't suggest this a long time ago.

yeah I know it's unhealthy, but I love an occasional biscuits & gravy. It seems so simple, yet most places I've tried it ruined it. Usually too thick and pasty, or too dense a biscuit, or a bad sausage /gravy ratio. McD's does it perfect. Sorry h8ers.
