Published on March 27, 2008, for Ad Age.com, accessed 8/15/2014. )〕 He later became a franchise co-owner and the operator of six McDonald's restaurants in and around Santa Barbara, California. Peterson developed the Egg McMuffin, which has become a McDonald's breakfast signature item, in 1972. Peterson was said to like eggs benedict, so he worked to develop a breakfast item which was similar to it for the fast food chain.〔 Peterson eventually came up with the Egg McMuffin, which was an egg sandwich consisting of an egg formed in a Teflon circle with the yolks broken, topped with Canadian bacon and a slice of cheese.〔 The Egg McMuffin was served as an open faced sandwich on a buttered and toasted English muffin.〔 The Egg McMuffin was created and first sold at a McDonald's in Santa Barbara, California (Milpas St. location with placard outside marking the location) which Peterson co-owned with his son, David Peterson.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herb Peterson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
