The 'Best Breakfast Item of All Time' Can Be Found All Over Maine

Our Pine Tree State is filled with plenty of awesome breakfast options, but this one in particular is being called the best ever!

Is there really anything better than a fast, tasty breakfast that’s easy to take on the go? Sure, maybe a few things—but still, breakfast is important for a reason, and there’s a reason they call it the most important meal of the day (and no, that’s not just a bunch of malarkey).

That said, how is the best breakfast item of all time even decided? Objectively, that’s such a subjective title to give something—who’s making this call?

LoveFood’s ranking of the best fast food breakfast items of all time is based on a mix of reviews, accolades, and overall popularity—including sales, longevity, and public reaction when each item launched. While the list is ultimately subjective, it highlights both iconic global favorites and beloved regional classics.

Okay, with that cleared up: which breakfast item is being called the best of all time, and where in Maine can we find it?

According to LoveFood and their list highlighting ‘Ranked: The Best Fast Food Breakfast Items of All Time,’ their choice for the absolute #1 fast food breakfast item is the Egg McMuffin at McDonald’s. LoveFood had the following to say about their selection:

To its many fans, this is breakfast perfection – a slice of Canadian bacon, a griddle-fried egg and a slice of American cheese sandwiched in a toasted, buttered English muffin. Designed to resemble eggs Benedict, McDonald's first breakfast item was a pioneer of the morning menu when it launched in 1972.

LoveFood continues by saying it’s debatable whether many of the items on their list would even exist without this one.

You can find the best breakfast item of all time—the Egg McMuffin—at any of the 61 McDonald’s locations across Maine, including the most famous one in Freeport that looks just like a regular house.
