No Egg McMuffins in the South.
The biggest “controversy” over McDonald’s all-day breakfast is that there is a sharp division of North and South. “Maybe the Mason-Dixon line should be renamed the Biscuit-McMuffin line,” industry publication Nation’s Restaurant News deadpanned. It was decided that Southern tastes prefer biscuits over McMuffins, and because it was too difficult for McDonald’s restaurants to serve both all day, locations had to go one way or the other. McMuffins rule most of the country, while the Southeast’s “Biscuit Belt” stretches through Appalachia, and from Louisiana east through to Georgia. Florida, however, has been declared McMuffin territory, presumably because the state is so full of transplants from other parts of the country.
