There are many fast-food breakfast sandwiches.
There's the McDonald's Egg McMuffin, Dunkin' Donuts' many bagel-clad options, and Taco Bell's breakfast-biscuit creation.
Yet none of those catch my discerning eye — not like the McGriddle.
Simply put, it's the perfect breakfast sandwich out there. And now it's ascending to its rightful place on the all-day breakfast menu.
The McGriddle was released in 2003, predating the sweet and savory craze by nearly a decade. It was expertly crafted by the same fast-food genius behind the Meat Lover's Pizza and Smashburger.
It's a perfectly balanced breakfast harbinger of sweet and salty flavors.
Here's why it's the perfect sandwich:

The exalted McGriddle comes in three varieties: sausage, egg, and cheese; bacon, egg, and cheese; and plain sausage. But we're clearly focusing on the best of the best here: the sausage, egg, and cheese.
The McGriddle comes humbly wrapped — not much to look at. But just you wait.
When its inconspicuous shroud unfurls, you can see the McGriddle in all its golden, sweet splendor.
