How is piling 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese on some bread an "omellete"? Did they qualify on a technicality by folding the cheese inside the eggs? Bacon strips and an entire sausage patty aren't omellete ingredients, they're side dishes.

Food porn? Wouldn't that increase the number of sales? Perhaps the critics should come up with a different name.

Saw the commercial for it last night. Sort of freaky with Burger King making an appearance. The end of the commercial was sort of funny though with a bird sitting on Burger King's head.

They are calling the McGriddle and raising them an Enormous Omelet Sandwich.

So how long, exactly, did that era of "healthy" fast food last. I seem to remember BK offering lettuce wrapped Whoppers for a while.

You'd need a tugboat to steer it toward your mouth.

They put it on a chicken sandwich bun? Interesting, I would have thought that they would have made a jumbo sized biscuit or croissant.

I never thought I'd live to see the day the "breakfast hoagie" was unleashed on the world.

BTW, I know the picture never matches real life, but each egg layer looks to be about 2 eggs in that picture. One egg spread thin enough to fit the full length of that bun would NOT look like that pic.

I don't know, Ksyrup. Back in high school when I worked at BK the eggs we cooked were pretty thick. Cooked them in a pan and then folded them over kind to double the thickness.
Of course, I think they've changed the egg cooking process since my day...

I would expect a square egg to have that kind of thickness, doubled over. But one the length of a hoagie bun?

I think we actually got eight "eggs" out of one pan cooked. If they just cut them in half instead of in fourths like we did then it would be just about the perfect size...

They actually had one of these breakfast sandwiches on the desk in front of them this morning on the early hour of Good Morning America I think it was. Before 7 a.m.
Anyways, they did a little piece on it and ended with comparing it to the Big Mac, the Whopper, and the Whopper w/ cheese. Then they threw in a bit of a surprise to me. So I went and checked it out myself. Several Starbucks' Frappuccinos are even worse for you then this sandwich. More calories anyways.... I guess if I had ever given it much though I would not have been real surprised, but I am not a big Starbucks guy.....

Jumbo croissant would be most excellent... I'd actually like it w/o the bacon, but then I had a sausage croissandwich this morning. Seriously, if you're someone who works in construction or something where you're active, you want a breakfast that will give you some calories. Hell, sitting at my desk I sometimes eat 2 breakfast sandwichies...uh, something I need to stop making a habit of really.

Oh no, have they? We used to put the big pan over the deep fryer...I seem to remember folding them twice though, but I could be wrong. I employ the same tactic doing these at home now with the square Sunbeam skillet...just pour in the eggs, split into quarters, and fold twice. ![]()

Check out Starbucks.com for nutritional info. they will let you pick the exact drink and size that you want, and tell you all the info on it. Some are not nearly as bad as others.

Yeah, I think they cooks eggs in the biscuit oven now. I'm not sure exactly what the process is, but I can tell the eggs aren't the same anymore. Yeah, I think you're right about folding the eggs over twice, once in each direction. It's been quite a while since I made breakfast at BK, though I imagine for an old-timer like you it's been even longer... ![]()

Never been to a Wendy's that does breakfast, though I know (from my Ops Manual studies) that some of the restaurants on the highways do it.
Wendy's breakfast any good, Cringer?

I like it, my only problem has been that their biscuits for thier sandwiches seem to crumble a little to easy. They are good biscuits, but fragile. And that sucks when driving.

Is there a legal limit to how many BK Breakfast artery-cloggers you can have? That doesn't look like it should be part of a normal daily diet.
Next thing you know, that sandwich will be on fear factor and the contestants will have to eat as many as they can in under 10 minutes. |

Maybe wrap it in a giant slab of ham or something to keep with their theme.

Dola-
Actually, back in the day, we had a regular who would always come through the drive through and order a Croissanwich with all three meats (sausage, bacon, and ham) to go along with the egg and cheese. I never worked up the balls to try one myself. Not quite sure what my problem was...
