Truly a Marketing and American Breakfast Hero as the EGG MCMUFFIN WAS A PRE-ORDAINED SENSATION EVEN WHILE IT WAS FIRST BEING INTRODUCED TO AMERICA.

*FREEREPUBLIC Poster - the EGG MCMUFFIN has six times the cholesterol of the McD's regular/simple cheeseburger [read - MAN FOOD, NOT CHICK FOOD].

No, a localized version, served in Kentucky: they also had one with country ham, my number 2 favorite...in the food service industry the McMuffin was regarded as an fact of genius; for the overeaters, one supposes it could be a source of self inflicted cholesterolic sabotage -- one wonders if a Babe Ruth could eat 29 Egg McMuffins, as he once did hot dogs, and still hit a home run or two
