I can’t find the link now but I read there will be two different menus depending on your location. Some will sell the biscuit stuff all day and some the English muffin stuff all day so your favorite may still not be available. I live in NJ, the diner capital of the world where eating breakfast all day (and night) is in our blood and I eat breakfast for dinner quite a bit but I suspect this will last for a while and then quietly go away. The demand will spike and trickle back down to a point where it probably won’t be worth it. A diner can do it because they have a full kitchen and are more flexible because people don’t expect the food super quickly. McDonald’s has different priorities. Speed is their main concern and having to have all this set up for what will become a handful of orders a day will get expensive I think. ---

I’m sure there’s many out there who will think this is great, long overdue news, my first reaction was it sounds like the action of a desperate company. McDonald’s will be closing 700 stores this year and while as this article notes ([http://fortune.com/2015/04/22/mcdonalds-restaurants-closing/](http://fortune.com/2015/04/22/mcdonalds-restaurants-closing/) 700 out of over 32,000 is a small percentage, McDonald’s has been reeling over the last few years. I’ll be curious to see if this aids their cause or not. ---

I’d love to be able to get a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit whenever I want to. I’m not really a huge fan of the Egg McMuffin. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Feh. Jack in the Box has been doing breakfast all day for decades now, and, although it’s been years since I worked for that company, I think I can say with confidence that any given breakfast sandwich on Jack’s menu is superior to its equivalent on McDonalds’ menu. No problem. I’ll just drive 450 miles to NC when I want breakfast at 11pm. 🙂 ---

So will they now officially do a hamburger with an egg on top, or do I have to order two sandwiches and combine them myself? I tried it with a jalapeno cheeseburger at White Castle, and it turned out good (and I only needed to order one sandwich.) ---

I just wish airport fast food joints in the west would serve their lunch menu earlier. If I’m in Denver at 10 MT, my gut is at noon ET and wants lunch, not breakfast. ---

Last week I bought an Egg McMuffin around 2 p.m. and it tasted – different. Probably because they’re using the same grill for the eggs as the hamburgers. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > It’s been here for a week or two now, and I’m disappointed that they don’t have biscuits all day. Apparently, they’ve chosen to reduce the complexity of simultaneously offering breakfast and lunch/dinner by limiting which items are available outside of the normal breakfast hours. In the South, biscuits are a bigger “thing”, and that’s what they’re offering during the rest of the day. In the rest of the country, it’s McMuffins.
