Swing and a miss. Sushi/nigiri is a favorite of mine.

McGriddles occupy a completely different realm than things like sushi. A McGriddle is the zenith of Americanized, corporate driven consumerism. It's complex the way that the KFC Double Down or the Arby's Meat Mountain are complex.
When are we getting chicken Big Mac's?

The Chick-Fil-A mini breakfast sandwiches are good. I also like Caribou's chicken apple sausage sandwich.

As a general rule, I don't love breakfast foods, so I want my breakfast to seem as much like a normal meal as possible.

Absolutely agree with the bold. But doesn't this description fit for a spicy chicken biscuit from chic-fil-a? Hell, are we sure its even chicken?

My fast food go to is the sausage and egg McMuffin. If I have more time, I get the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a bagel at our local coffee shop. 80 year old mom of the owner makes the best (not healthiest) sandwich around.

Wild blueberry muffin and a caramel latte from Tim Horton's.

But the drive to Canada is a killer, eh? (the 11 states with franchises don't count)

As a kid, the Saturday mornings I was able to get Hardee's cinnamon raisins were the best. ... but that could be more because I had those when I got to hang out helping my dad those days.

It's Wednesday. Slow work day. Just read an article that referenced the Egg McMuffin as the peak example of fast food breakfast offerings, and I think I disagree.

If I had to choose I honestly think the Chick Fil A, spicy chicken biscuit might be the pinnacle.

What's your favorite?
(No "McGriddle" answers will be allowed, you crime against nature, blueberry pancake for bread eating, sons of *******)
There aren't blueberries in the McGriddle pancake, you ******* peasant.

That said, Hardee's Frisco or Casey's bacon pizza are the 2 correct answers here.

The Wendy's breakfast sandwiches are super underrated, but this is offset by the abomination that is their potato option in the value meal. McDonald's has the better coffee, so they win the contest. But IMO, Wendy's does a better job with the sandwiches.

Definitely the better burgers and chicken sandwiches. I've never tried Wendy's for breakfast, will need to give it a shot.
