When the public demanded breakfast past 10:30 a.m. at McDonald’s, they got it put on the all-day menu. Now, they want burgers served up alongside their McMuffins! Apparently, burgers in the early hours have been a demand for quite some time at the franchise. So, why can’t you have that patty until after 10:30? According to a former employee of 25-years, the reasoning is pretty simple. The kitchen simply cannot accommodate cooking eggs and other breakfast items at the same time as burgers. He says, “There was no way to cook a hamburger at temperatures used for eggs.” Apparently, some McDonald’s locations outside the U.S. are testing an “All Day Favorites” menu which means you can eat what you want, whenever you want.
MIAMI BEACH, FL - JULY 18: Jeff Baughman unwraps his Double Quarterpounder with cheese and a Super Fries and a Super Coke on July 18, 2002 at a McDonalds in Miami Beach, Florida. The health effects of an American diet of super-sized fast foods are becoming apparent as increasing numbers of children and adults are being treated for obesity. Studies seem to point to the fact that many overweight children and adults get a large portion of their calories by consuming too many sodas and sweetened juices and beverages. Sweetened drinks + "super-sized" meals + the convenience of fast food + a decrease in physical activity = a recipe for obesity. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
