The people have spoken, and they want breakfast all day, every day. In response to consumer demand, McDonald's is exploring the concept of serving breakfast past the usual 10:30 a.m. cutoff. McBrunch, anyone? The Associated Press reports the menu will include some breakfast sandwiches and hash browns, with a test run in San Diego starting this month. (No word so far on whether they'll offer McBloody Marys.)
If you're all for breakfast sandwiches any hour of the day (yes!), here are seven top-rated DIYs to tide you over until all-day McBreakfast comes to a golden arch near you.
