Egg McMuffin inventor Peterson dies - Food Inc.- msnbc.com
LOS ANGELES - Herb Peterson, who invented the ubiquitous Egg McMuffin as a way to introduce breakfast to McDonald's restaurants, has died, a Southern California McDonald's official said Wednesday. He was 89.
Peterson died peacefully Tuesday at his Santa Barbara home, said Monte Fraker, vice president of operations for McDonald's restaurants in that city.

Good night, sweet prince.
I know I am just one of many within the geek hordes that will mourn the passing of one of our food industry heroes.
The egg McMuffin is a thing of beauty.
Egg sandwiches rock, but they have always had a problem: they are messy. Greasy, delicious, godly messes. The egg McMuffin, on the other hand, is a neat little setup that doesn't skimp on whatever it is that makes my cholesterol readings get worse every year.
What about the croissandwich? Fuck the croissandwich.
