In today’s obituary page…
Herb Peterson, the inventor of the Egg McMuffin has died.
Peterson came up with idea for the signature McDonald’s breakfast item in 1972. He “was very partial to eggs Benedict,” Fraker said, and worked on creating something similar.
The egg sandwich consisted of an egg that had been formed in a Teflon circle with the yolk broken, topped with a slice of cheese and grilled Canadian bacon. It was served on a toasted and buttered English muffin.
It’s always important to note the passing of those who have so profoundly affected the world we live in.
