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.
