I live in the suburbs of Philly and the morning dawned raw and damp and rainy. But I got sent out on an errand and could not resist hitting the McDonalds near the high school for my sausage biscuit. It was ten thirty five and I was told they were already on lunch. Sigh. So I weaved my way across town to the other McDonalds, hitting every possible red light. I got there at ten of eleven and ordered my sausage biscuit no problem. I was so happy I ordered hash browns too. I'm not much for eating and driving but those hash browns kept softly hissing my name. They were so good. Perfectly golden brown and crispy and not greasy at all. They were gone before I reached my destination. My sausage patty was a bit greasy but the biscuit was fluffy and buttery and on a yukky morning like this a little grease went down well. I take solace in the lack of fair weather that some food tastes even better on miserable days like today. So when does breakfast end in other parts of the country at McDonalds? Ever hit the lunch at ten thirty wall and been frustrated? I very rarely get breakfast at McDonalds but when I want it, I really want it. I've even managed to plead for them to sell me any leftover breakfast sandwich they still have, as late as ten after eleven am. But only at the second McDonalds. The first one, which was on my way, is implacable. Thu Oct 15 08:27:47 -0700 2009 184593 givemecarbs 1 5105130 HA HA HA...your title caught my eye at the bottom of the screen. I'm a fool for McDonald's breakfast, too (I'm a McGriddle gal). What time does breakfast end in other parts of the country? I dunno. But your inquiry reminded me of this scene from "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eREiQhBDIk I know what you mean about wanting what you want when you want it. Glad you were less frustrated than ol D-FENS in this movie! :) Thu Oct 15 08:38:55 -0700 2009 5105095 249664 kattyeyes 2 5107223 He he kattyeyes! I've seen that movie and I hate to admit that I identified a bit with the bad guy. There was another movie with Adam Sandler in it I think. nothing nearly so extreme, just that he was delighted to finally make it to McDonalds in time for breakfast after being a night owl for years. I still can't believe how good those hash browns were. Nice and hot too. I feel like I hit the lotto. I probably won't be back for awhile, no sense in pushing my luck. Thu Oct 15 23:53:12 -0700 2009 5105130 184593 givemecarbs 3 5107361 I think that movie was Big Daddy. The kid staying with Sandler wanted pancakes. Steve Buscemi wanted a Happy Meal. Sometimes what seems to be the simplest items just seem so right. McDonald's does that better than anyone. Well, the second McDonald's does.

Thu Oct 15 08:42:40 -0700 2009 5105095 12829 Bob W 1 5106867 My experience has been 10:30am is the cut-off time for MCD breakfast. Maybe they'll sell any breakfast left-over's after that. Thu Oct 15 18:54:38 -0700 2009 5105095 11914 monku 1 5106878 What I've heard is that the grill temp is set lower for breakfast than for lunch "products." Has anyone else heard that or was I just dreaming that? Thu Oct 15 19:00:32 -0700 2009 5105095 114693 GeeBeeEmm 2 5108948 Here is SoCal they're testing some sort of system that allows them to serve burgers during the breakfast period, in addition to breakfast products. It seems that they're losing business to Burger King and others that will serve burgers all day long. If only In n Out would open earlier than 11:00. Fri Oct 16 14:31:57 -0700 2009 5106878 14405 TomSwift 1 5106908 here in this area it is 1030 also. but sometimes if they still have what you want at 1030 then they will sell it but they wont make any fresh once it hits 1030. Thu Oct 15 19:20:47 -0700 2009 5105095 92286 vttp926 1 5106924 10:30 here in the Outer Boroughs and Long Island. Early in my pregnancy, I would wake up early in the morning and drive there in the freezing cold 2 or 3 times a week for McD's breakfast.

Fri Oct 16 02:49:59 -0700 2009 5105095 154476 Lindseyup67 1 5112150 At my local Mickey D's, they stop serving at 11:00 on Sundays...I know because I finally had my yummy Sausage 'n Cheese McGriddle today, replete with shiny, golden-orange cheese and artificial maple-y bits in the ever-so-slightly crisp edges of the "hotcake" part of the sandwich. I wrapped my hash browns in a napkin to soak up the excess grease (a wise person taught me this trick). What a perfect lazy, naughty breakfast for a crappy, raw, rainy day (on which someone else got in the car to visit ol' Ronald)...and now, to completely paint this pathetic picture, I'll continue to loaf around the Internet for the next several hours. BAHAHAHA! Sun Oct 18 09:45:12 -0700 2009 5105095 249664 kattyeyes 2 5112227 mmmmm sausage mcgriddle. last tmie I ate one it burned the shiznit out of the top of my mouth..... hurt for 3 days! Thought about suing.....do I have a case?? lol! With my luck I would end up with a lifetime free food card to McD's and end up being 500 lbs...... Sun Oct 18 10:25:48 -0700 2009 5112150 1106705 joe777cool 3 5115462 In the past I've experienced 10:30 on weekdays, and 11 on weekends, but lately it seems 10:30 on all days. I've been able to get breakfast items a little past 10:30. but only if they have extras in the warming trays, so I can't always get what I want. I'm not a fan of most of their breakfast items, but their hashbrowns win me over every time. Mon Oct 19 15:35:32 -0700 2009 5112227 71436 Piperdown 1 5121013 I'm in Canada. At most of the McDonalds locations around here, it was 11 am (I think), but now they offer breakfast all day at the ones that I go to, and they have been doing this for about a year now.

This info makes me consider moving to Canada, but I already missed Thanksgiving there. :) Wed Oct 21 22:24:42 -0700 2009 5121013 184593 givemecarbs
