McDonald's Sausage Egg & Cheese McGriddle Reviews
Not a daily sandwich but one you get to treat yourself. Slightly too much egg for my liking but easily removable.
Praise the visionary who realized an entire breakfast buffet could be stuffed into a single sandwich. I dare say, it almost has too much flavor for a breakfast item

I have given this breakfast sandwich a try a few times, I don’t like English muffins so it just never really clicked. That’s probably my only real issue with it, the taste is fine I guess.
