History
The McGriddles was conceptualized in 1999 by Gerald Tomlinson, at the time executive chef of McDonald's, as a variant of the McMuffin series with pancakes. A technology patented by a supplier which allowed the crystallization of syrup was necessary for production, where the crystals are mixed and heated to ensure all syrup goes into the pancakes. The product was introduced in June 2003.[9]
When McDonald's launched its all-day breakfast menu in October 2015, McGriddles sandwiches were initially excluded from the menu, but were eventually added in September 2016.[10][11]
