McDonald's might extend breakfast hours

[nadinbrzezinski]

Breakfast and fast-food enthusiasts might soon be in for a treat.

After hinting about it in the past, McDonald's is reportedly considering extending its breakfast hours to cater to those in their 20s and 30s who are changing the way they eat.

Customers might be able to get their coveted McGriddles and Egg McMuffins later than the current breakfast hours, which end at 10:30 a.m.

Despite calls from the public, the restaurant has been reluctant to do so in the past, citing concerns over the chain's small kitchens that would make it difficult to prepare more food, according to Business Insider.

But the company says its young target audience is more in the "brunch mindset" than its older customers, and according to NBC, the 10:30 a.m. cutoff is just not working, especially on the weekends.

Now this is what I call earth shattering news, NOT, but it did tickle my funny bone. Fast food and brunch... who'd thunk!

[pintobean]

1. Crunchy

[greytdemocrat]

24. Damn you!!!

You beat me!!!!

[pintobean]

29. Here

[pinboy3niner]

2. Maybe they just need to offer a Mimosa McSlurry to get people in earlier

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. You might be onto something there

perhaps even a job in your future at corporate!

[Aerows]

33. That and a bacon egg and cheese biscuit

would certainly get me in there.

[pinboy3niner]

50. You know what would go great with that biscuit?

A nice Bloody McMary.

[jmowreader]

40. Now, now...

If they served McMimosas the staff would drink the whole batch before opening every morning.

Which couldn't help but improve the food.

[CBGLuthier]

3. I really enjoy a GOOD sausage biscuit. Fortunately my local donut shop makes one.

I quit eating McD's the day I saw they kept the cooked meat in drawers.

[mainstreetonce]

4. I'd prefer

They serve breakfast all day.

[blueamy66]

19. Most fast food restaurants do this.

The temp and time allowed in the drawer is closely monitored, if that helps you at all.

[Blue_Adept]

6. Change working landscape

More and more people work "non-traditional" hours and breakfast is not the classic time it used to be for many people.

[KansDem]

7. The "10:30 a.m. cutoff?"

Why not make it the "11:30 a.m. cutoff?"

[REP]

39. First thing that came to my mind

Saved me finding the clip (double entendre intended).

[Nye Bevan]

8. I have suffered quite a few "too late for a McMuffin" disappointments over the years.

So I support this.

[HappyMe]

10. Yeah, I have too.

Longer breakfast service is a good thing.

[CFLDem]

9. Awesome!!!!!

[NightWatcher]

11. Made many a frantic 10:25 hungover Bacon Egg & Cheese runs in my day

[Brickbat]

12. AOL is still a thing?

[MattBaggins]

13. Why can't they do the opposite and make lunch stuff available early

I HATE everything associated with breakfast except bacon.

I like sausage but would appreciate other choices than just sage based breakfast sausage.

I DETEST eggs.

Breakfast.. most boring meal of the day.

Eggs eggs eggs eggs

Gag me with a spoon.

[zappaman]

14. Are you nuts?

Just seeing wonderful eggs makes my mouth water!

[MattBaggins]

15. eggs are disgusting

[REP]

42. I feel you, man

I can eat them only if I cook them, and they must be so full of other things (especially onions) to disguise the taste.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Egg man!

[zappaman]

21. Goo goo goo jewb!

[blueamy66]

20. I am soooo with you on this!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Not at Micke Ds but a bagel with cream cheese

granola, a good serving of oatmeal, if you want to be adventurous and go ethnic, you can alway try tortillas with beans and some hot sauce. Yogurt is common with fruit and muesli in some of Europe too. Hard cheese with fruit is also popular. Did I mention a good potato hash with bacon and cheese?

There are alternatives to the typical american breakfast.

My personal fav is actually tortillas with baked beans,

[MattBaggins]

23. None of that

I want dinner for breakfast.

Steak with mushrooms, asparagus, nice salad

I lived 6 years in Germany and got sick of breakfast there as well. I wanted German dinner or at a minimum German lunch.

Every where around the world breakfast sucks. Except Schwartemage. Schwartemage rocks.

[Aerows]

35. Head cheese?

I'll pass on my way to the biscuits and white gravy table.

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. well try mexico

it is common to have some meat on the griddle, with tortillas and beans and rice. (Usually whatever was left over)

Thai food might be what the doctor ordered as well. Not uncommon to have a good panang or green curry for breakfast.

I like eggs, but rarely. As to the rest of the American classical breakfast, well I like to have my main meal at breakfast.

[Aerows]

41. I'm not really a fan of eggs

but I'm pretty much a fan of anything that isn't head cheese. Good Lord. Okay, I'll pass on the chitterlings, too.

[winter is coming]

44. I have seen people ask for something off the lunch menu during breakfast hours at fast food joints,

and get their food without any hassle. It may depend on the mindset of the individual restaurant, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

[Warren DeMontague]

54. "I want breakfast"

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Cardiologists, rejoice!

Seriously, yuk.

[JJChambers]

25. Why yuck?

McDonalds breakfast is easy, affordable and has reasonable calorie meals for those who are inclined to look for them. And it tastes good, too. I used to frequently patronize CFA for breakfast but have cut back dramatically as a result of their abhorrent political views. Still, their chicken minis and chicken breakfast burrito are exceptional.

[yeoman6987]

26. chicken breakfast burrito are exceptional.

I have only had one at Chick Fil A, but it was the best dang burrito I ever had in my life. I had it about a year or two ago and it was amazing. I don't go very often so I have not had another partly because of their politics but also because I just never get around to going. You know when I am in the mood for Chick Fil A????? SUNDAY!!!!!

[JJChambers]

27. Words of wisdom (nt)

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Hey, whatever floats your boat.

I haven't eaten Mickey D's in probably 15 years or more, but that's my own preference.

I don't actually eat breakfast out much, or really eat breakfast very much at all, save a shitload of coffee. When I do I usually microwave some kind of veggie sausage. Obviously not everyone likes that kind of thing but with a little bit of hot sauce they can be pretty tasty.

[blueamy66]

18. Yuck. I hate their breakfast.

I'd rather go to Jack in the Box, where they serve their burgers and stuff 24/7.

[Vashta Nerada]

28. Mmmmmm...sausage mcmuffin...

:drool:

[doc03]

30. I rarely eat their garbage. The last McDouble I had made me feal sick before I left their

parking lot. Once home I ran to the crapper about 10 times that night. I was like prep for a colonoscopy.

[SummerSnow]

31. McLaxatie

[Aerows]

34. Fortunately

there is always Waffle House. Biscuits and sausage gravy? Yes please, and can I have a side of bacon?

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. I cannot eat at either of the two places

[Aerows]

38. I shouldn't either

but every now and then I can't resist. .

Stay away from them. They are habit forming, and horrid for you .

[nadinbrzezinski]

45. I get deadly ill from the flour

so that is easy for me

[Aerows]

46. A sniff of bacon

and I'm doomed.

[flvegan]

43. Thank goodness! Extended hours for am McGarbage.

"Changing the way they eat" is what? Changing to this from McShit?

[Aerows]

47. If it's McDonald's or head cheese

haggis or something involving organ meats, I'm going to run like the wind to McDonald's, or preferably Taco Bell.

[flvegan]

48. So then, real world options then right?

Otherwise, McShit, et al.

[Aerows]

49. I am in no way afraid to eat

things like meat, a steak, a hamburger or a chicken wing.

Organ meat? Hello, there is a bus I'm either on or under because that isn't happening! I'd eat beans for the rest of my life before :shudder: organ meat.

[JI7]

51. i haven't been able to try the egg white mcmuffin because of the early breakfast hours

[DesertFlower]

52. i'm not a fan of mcdonalds, but several times i've

had their scrambled eggs and a biscuit. it was pretty good. one in nyc had fresh squeezed orange juice too.

their mcflurry isn't bad either.

[longship]

53. In the top of the news: Ronald McDonald McChoked to McDeath...

Sorry, I was channeling Chevy Chase on Weekend Update.



What is this, a McGaggles commercial?


Sorry, Can't help but poke a little fun here.

[eShirl]

55. McMuffin is the only fast-food breakfast with a real fresh-cracked egg

all the others I know of use that prescrambled eggs-in-a-carton crap
