They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but if you ask Google what time McDonald’s stops serving breakfast, you’re unlikely to get a straight answer.
I’ll tell you when I’ll know the world has finally seen the light: when they just name my regular McDonald’s order “special breakfast,” because I’ve been going to McDonald’s about once every two weeks for 20+ years and ordering “special breakfast”--that’s a Sausage McMuffin with Egg and two Hash Browns--only to have to spell out for them what “special breakfast” is. I’m thinking if I just keep trying, eventually they’ll put it on the menu. My family knows! In fact, there’s a special eye roll that my wife reserves just for days when I say, I think it’s a good day for special breakfast. That’s how special it is!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it’s fuel for dealing with the ignorance I will encounter when I fire up my laptop for the day. And I like anything that is not breakfast food. Pizza, stir fry, leftovers from last night’s dinner, which *could* be breakfast food because we do “breakfast for dinner” routinely.
I've also been known to eat last night's dinner for breakfast, Holly. And if there's leftover pizza, even better. Despite what Kurt Vonnegut would have you believe, pizza is the breakfast of champions.
You are at your very best, Michael, when you write about, and elevate, these everyday occurrences. Your observations on the mundanity of life are priceless. They are the reason I subscribe. As for STEVIE WINWOOD ... Yes! Gimme Some Lovin' will be the only song played at my funeral. Who could be sad when surrounded by that 1966 beat?? Another thing: this grammar ( I don't know why I should even care!!) Why are people saying, "you’re not supposed to do that because rules." Why are we omitting OF THE after BECAUSE now?
Thank you for those kind words, Sharron! To answer your question about omitting "of" and "the" it's just something the kids are doing these days. Maybe they're crunched for time. Or, maybe it's a space thing -- Twitter and TikTok limit the number of characters you can use, not sure about Snap and Insta. That's my guess, anyway.
Oh yes crunched for space on Twitter etc. That makes sense. But crunched for space when speaking face to face? Hmmm. As far as crunched for TIME, I don't know. Young people seem to have a lot of time on their hands. I am letting it go... it just makes me sound ancient. Thx 4 splaining
I experienced this very same breakfast emergency recently. And they also saved my ass with a leftover sausage biscuit, praise the gods of breakfast meats.
Where do you live that McDonald's doesn't serve breakfast 24/7? Here in Alberta, they all do. I don't know who started the trend, but within the span of a month, every fast food joint started offering breakfast around the clock a few years back. My favourite is A&W. Coffee and an English Muffin Bacon Egger. It's the quality of the bacon that sends it over the top.
Don't persecute me or anything, but I just can't do Tim Hortons coffee. If I'm doing fast food, it's A&W or MceeDee's for me. Either way, I try to avoid it as much as possible, if I'm being honest. I can make a much better cup at home.
For hauling ass, try Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream." It's not even possible to keep it under the speed limit when I hear that opening guitar riff. And getting the last sausage biscuit in LA? That IS the dream.
I'm not bragging or anything . . . but . . . um . . . MY McDonald's serves breakfast 24/7. Yeah.
Excellent musical choice. Breakfast is the best and most important meal of the day. It doesn’t matter what time I get up, it is always breakfast food first. Brunch is also acceptable. I don’t do fast food, myself. There is a sweet spot in town that makes the most delicious breakfast burritos and chilaquiles, bar none. That’s where you’ll find me a couple of weekend mornings a month.
I'm not a big Mcdonalds guy, for me A&W is my favourite place to eat breakfast! I don't know what A&W's are like in America but going to breakfast at an A&W in Canada is a perfect start to the morning. Especially if your order contains their pancakes which tastes delicious once you pour maple syrup over them and put a dab of butter on them as well. Also the combination of hashbrowns and apple juice makes it the ultimate breakfast for me
I don't think I've ever been to an A&W. We have them here in the U.S., but there aren't many near me. I think the closest one is about 150 miles away. But now that I know about breakfast, I'll have to stop into an A&W when I'm in the area.
Ok breakfast for sure has the most delicious foods of any meal. The trouble is that it comes at the wrong time of day. Three eggs pancakes butter syrup plus bacon sausage cinnamon roll etc at 8 am ruins the rest of the day. So then yeah you can eat those same things for dinner but it’s not the same. It’s not even breakfast. So the system is just BROKEN.
For flirting with speeding tickets, try "Wolf Like Me" from TV On the Radio, "Never Catch Me" from Flying Lotus (feat. Kendrick Lamar), "New Map" by M83, or "Brains" by Lower Dens. Those will all make my right foot a little heavier.
My usual breakfast is a bowl of cold cereal, sometimes it's a parfait. When my family goes out for breakfast I always get scrambled eggs, white toast, deep fried homefries, sometimes bacon, sometimes sausage.
I’ll take a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese and lox any day. 🥯
As for the USA Today article, they probably believed people were searching for “McDonalds breakfast time” on Google and made an article for that sweet SEO traffic.
Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?! Big cereal guy for breakfast my whole life. Was just in Michigan for vacay: Tim Hortons is my favorite fast food breakfast.
I've only been to Tim Hortons when I'm in Canada, so I'm not too familiar with their menu. But damn if those Tim Hortons employees weren't some of the nicest people around.
filipinos working and serving mcdonalds menu in philippines (https://mcdomenu.com.ph/) are the best. as a fast food lover, their service is best compared to the world outlets

Someday the world will see the light, Tom.
for hauling ass, there is only one: MERCURY BLUES BY DAVID LINDLEY. bring it! you fuckers are false prophets!
Good choice! I'm betting you've never been late, not once.
The very best music for the LA to Las Vegas road trip! 1980s, maybe, but inspired by 1965!

Blasphemy.

There are some real hero’s working in America’s fast food industry.
Where do you live that McDonald's doesn't serve breakfast 24/7? Here in Alberta, they all do. I don't know who started the trend, but within the span of a month, every fast food joint started offering breakfast around the clock a few years back. My favourite is A&W. Coffee and an English Muffin Bacon Egger. It's the quality of the bacon that sends it over the top.
I live in Los Angeles. I think there might be a few McDonald’s here that do breakfast 24/7, but it’s not the norm.
Hey fellow Canadian! My mom (I don't drink coffee) doesn't like A&W coffee.
Don't persecute me or anything, but I just can't do Tim Hortons coffee. If I'm doing fast food, it's A&W or MceeDee's for me. Either way, I try to avoid it as much as possible, if I'm being honest. I can make a much better cup at home.
Fair.

Good choice for hauling ass! Although with McDonald’s serving breakfast 24/7, what’s the rush?
Sometimes I get hangry!
Running Down a Dream just screams ROAD TRIP!!! Anybody going? I'm in.
I'm all in!

If I've got a good breakfast burrito, I'm set. It's the champion of breakfast foods, IMO.

It’s true. We’re doomed.

These are excellent choices, Andrew! You've got quite the playlist for hauling ass.
My usual breakfast is a bowl of cold cereal, sometimes it's a parfait. When my family goes out for breakfast I always get scrambled eggs, white toast, deep fried homefries, sometimes bacon, sometimes sausage.
These are all good choices, especially the home fries!
My mom always gets french fries, "because they don't do the pan fries well enough, and I don't like the textur of the deep fried ones"
*texture
Tio says it’s Brunch, and the sausage egg biscuit matters with hash browns and pancakes! And treat for Titus Romeo and Junior!

I believe you're breakfast is known the world over as the mensch, and it's glorious!
The SEO take is awesome. The algorithm will soon discern the manipulation and USA Today will get sent to detention :)

"You think I'm fucking around here?!? MARK IT ZERO!"
If you were a real fan of Tim Horton's you would have said ZED
