Elaine at the first drive-thru window at the McDonald's on the corner of North College and Willox says that most mornings the breakfast Extra Value Meal #2, the Sausage McMuffin, is the most popular order. But this morning, she tells me that people are choosing the #1, the original Egg McMuffin, perhaps as a delicious tribute to Herb Peterson, the breakfast delight's inventor who died yesterday at the ripe old age of 89.I can't say Peterson's passing made the Egg McMuffin taste any less fantastic, but I did drive away with a heavy heart, weighed down with grief and five grams of saturated fats, 235 milligrams of cholesterol and 840 milligrams of sodium.

Question: Is it OK to serve Happy Meals at a funeral?
Question: How many days should Mayor McCheese fly the flag at half-mast for Mr. Peterson?
Question: What does the inventor of the McSkillet need to have happen to be remembered with similarly loving fondness?
