The creater of the famous McDonald’s breakfast sandwich the Egg McMuffin’, Herb Peterson, has passed away at the age of 89. Peterson died peacefully at his Santa Barbara home. Before he died he was still the vice president of operations for McDonald’s restaurants. Peterson was famous for inventing a breakfast sandwich called the Egg McMuffin which is just an egg, a slice of Canadian bacon, topped with cheese and covered with two buttered english muffins. The sandwich has became a hit ever since. He was also the first to bring breakfast to McDonald’s food chain. Peterson loves McDonald’s so much that he would even talk with customers while they’re eating and make friends with the employees.
Peterson has worked with the McDonald’s food chain for more than 30 years. He is survived by his wife and three daughters.

Oh my, this makes me want to go to McDonald’s this weekend some morning to grab a couple of Egg McMuffins in honor of Peterson. Everyone else should do the same!
RIP Herb.

Rules of this blog: I will delete comments that just come here to insult me. Don’t just come here to this blog just to play kid games with me ’cause I won’t allow it here. You’ll realize that you are messing with the wrong person pretty fast. Just play nice and play it cool. Thanks.

Those are delicious sandwiches.
I stopped eating breakfast at McDonalds’ a long time ago, though: the hash browns did unkind things to my stomach.
This is a shame. American inventors are few and far between. Because of Herb, millions of people were employed baking, shipping, farming eggs, etc etc. He was a great person in society.
Some people probably know that his brother Mike invented McDonald’s answer to the Whopper: the “McDLT.” Oh wait, I’m thinking of Herb Hunt’s brother.
Regardless, this is a good blog and whoever pissed Kevin off enough to have to tell everyone to stop playing games is probably not a good friend of Kevin’s and probably never had a good EggMcMuffin. They really warm not only your stomach but also your heart! Those McGriddles, though, just make ya poop yourself.
That above user is not really country singer Sherrie Austin, this user names IP matches with another blog poster named josh420, so nice try though.

It’s a shame about Herb Peterson. He lived a good, long life though. Especially since he had two things against him making it to that age. One, was eating egg mcmuffins everyday. They have alot fat and cholesterol. Not good for one. The other is that Herb was Mexican.
Not alot of people know this, but Herb Peterson was born Hector Pedro Chavez to Jose “Papi” Chavez and his wife Consuela. Jose was hardworking, but had a problem with the tequila. Often he’d be thrown in the drunk tank after starting trouble after he got loaded after his day job of cleaning out horse stalls. Eventually Jose was sent to jail for assaulting a police officer. Consuela, with no trade skills to speak of, resorted to prostitution to support young Hector and his brother Javier. Javier resorted to petty crime (pickpocketing, robbing store, impersonating a bullfighter) and eventually followed “Papi” into jail. Hector wanted no part of this life. He crossed the border to America. First settling in Florida picking oranges illegally. Later, he was a pioneer as a “squeegee” man. Hanging out a intersections and cleaning peoples windshields. He was one of the first. Most people associate crackheads, jensens, and YKW’s (you know who’s)with this activity, but the first to do this were Mexicans.
Eventually Hector obtained a green card and worked the overnight shift at a McDonalds in San Clemente, California where one of his customers was a man who eventually became President of the United States- Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon. Apparently he got the nickname ‘tricky dick’ from Hector because he’d fake choking on his food so he wouldn’t have to pay for it.
Back in them days, Hector was known as “Chico”.
You don’t have to keep saying Chico everytime you post Jerry, who ever you really are, you’ve been doing that for the last couple of years. It makes no sense.
