| |  Fast Food Breakfast
What's your favorite fast food breakfast? Someone mentioned McGriddles in another thread - maybe on another forum. Years ago I used to enjoy a McDonalds Egg McMuffin, and a few times a year I'll grab a Sausage McMuffin (no egg). What else is out there?

I miss the old YumDinger sandwich from Burger King.
Melted cheese and hot ham on a bun.

The Egg McMuffin (bastardization of eggs benedict)
Breakfast Burrito. Both McDonald's products.
Usually eaten on LONG driving vacations. Otherwise made at home. |

scattered, smothered, covered and chunked.......Waffle House hash browns, with ham, onions and american cheese......ketchups on the table.
Not exactly drive through fare but pretty darn fast with entertainment thrown in gratitus. |

I believe Waffle House is a Midwestern and Southeastern chain. Waffle House® - Waffle House History I've never eaten there myself.
It's been so long since I ate fast-food breakfasts! When I wasn't paying attention to fat and calories, I enjoyed the McDonald's Egg McMuffin. It seemed much less fatty than the Burger King breakfast croissants with sausage, cheese and egg. I had a few in my past and remember grease dripping out of them. 
Kuan, maybe there's a market there....

I'm a sucker for eating at a place where 10 ft away a guy is cooking up multiple orders of food on a flattop getting the verbal clues to setup his visual clues. Just really enjoy seeing a good short order cook work. happens at the taqueria too....these guys weild a thin long flexible blade and a large paint spatula and chop/hack up shankmeat, other interesting cuts....seasoning, flipping, hacking....just a beautiful way to spend lunch....tacos and a show for low cost.
Waffle House hashbrowns are not fresh, nor are they flavorful without the goo.....but they are what they are.....crispy on the outside with bits of ham, onions and american cheese melted on top. Nothing fancy, nothing I'd haul foodie friends to and say wow taste these, but something that fills a desire occasionally for a show with a side of fried carbs. |

I used to, in the late 90's have to go to work early in the morning. And I used to stop at del taco for some breakfast burritos ,or jack-in-the-box sourdough breakfast samitch<---(slang) those were the good old' days. There was something about the toasting of the bread yummers.

of course we have the usual suspects like Mickey D's and The King
and I HOP - which is as close as we get to Waffle House
but we have so many ethnic options available especially for breakfast and they are all very quick
some longtime favorites are
chinese dim sum - and congee soup
vietnamese pho - good for breakfast, lunch or dinner
ranging in size and price from $3 - 4.50 (more than enough for 2 people I think)
real mexican breakfast burrittos (by real I mean not Mickey D's)
with scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, black beans and salsa - a huge burritto that I can share with my sweetie for about $4
and bodega or deli scrambled eggs on kaiser roll with bacon and cheese ketchup salt and pepper -
bagel and cream cheese or flavored cream cheese - definitely a standby quintessential NYC breakfast or snack
