McGriddle
Syrup-infused morning meal
A McGriddle is a McDonald's breakfast sandwich that uses small griddle cakes with embedded maple syrup pockets instead of bread.
The sweet-savory combination—typically with sausage, egg, bacon, or cheese—has made it a cult favorite since its 2003 introduction: I need a McGriddle and a large coffee.
