Egg McMuffins rock; creator dies

Herb Peterson, the man who invented the Egg McMuffin, died at his Santa Barbara home on Tuesday at the age of 89.

Peterson came up with idea for the signature McDonald’s breakfast fare in 1972.

Best thing McDonald’s has come up with. Many a morning on the road has been fueled with Egg McMuffins. Thanks, Herb.
