Today's one of those days I *really* miss Morning Sedition and Mort Mortenson with Morning Remembrance.
Herb Patterson, Egg McMuffin Inventor, Dies At 89
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.
Anyone around who can do a good Mort impersonation?

Mort would have had an exhaustingly good cry this week, wouldn't he have?

Al Copeland, a Restaurateur Known for Spice and Speed, Dies at 64
Al Copeland, a poor boy from New Orleans who marshaled gumption, perspicacity and a fiery fried chicken recipe to emerge as a flamboyant multimillionaire with fast speedboats and successive business empires, died Sunday in Germany near Munich. He was 64.
