According to Jeff Miller, Dunkin' Brands' Executive Chef and Vice President of Product Innovation, "We've had Angus Steak as part of our menu for a limited time at different points over the past couple of years, and it has always been quite popular with guests seeking innovative and interesting sandwich options, and the chance to enjoy a classic steak and eggs breakfast on the go, any time of day. Based on its success, we're thrilled to add the Angus Steak & Egg Breakfast Sandwich and Wake-Up Wrap as a permanent part of our lineup of quick and delicious sandwiches. In the future, we also look forward to the possibility of developing more steak-based choices that can be enjoyed all day long."
