Ronald McDonald is concocting a new way to lure folks in during the middle of the night: serve dinner and breakfast.
While the world's biggest fast-food company declines to discuss any formal plans, this month, an unspecified number of its 24-hour restaurants in the U.S. will begin serving a limited combination of breakfast and dinner items between midnight and 4 a.m., the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Our customers want convenience around the clock," the statement says.
After many months of testing its so-called "After Midnight" menu, the move appears to indicate the company is serious about its push into late-night snacking.
Customers will not only be able to get Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets, but also Egg McMuffins and hot cakes. Folks also will be able to mix and match from the two menus, say, hash browns with a Quarter Pounder or french fries with a Sausage McMuffin. All McCafe beverages and dessert items will also be on the late menu.
I work at McDonald's and serving both all day would be impossible. It's already difficult enough to handle just breakfast or dinner, but both would be too crazy.
I remember a member who works at a McDonalds (or used to, I forget) mentioning in another thread the difficulty of cooking breakfast alongside the regular meats.
Still, I would love to be able to get a McGriddle any time of the day.

Wow, I can imagine! It wouldn't be beneficial for employees or customers.
