It's spreading (and changing) as it's "fame" grows. One of my favourite
breakfast spots, Charlie Parker's Diner won a cooking competition put 
on by Thomas Breads using their "English Muffins". The owner of the
diner (which was also featured in an episode of Guy Fieri's "Diners,
Dives, and Drive-Ins") split the $25,000 prize money among his staff.
A really class act.

Quonset hut - formerly a highway maintenance shed - used as the diner's
home)

      Title: Charlie Parker's Diner Breakfast Horseshoe
 Categories: Pork, Breads, Cheese, Sauces, Potatoes
      Yield: 1 Serving
 
      1    English Muffin
      2 lg Eggs; cooked as desired
      4 sl Thick-cut bacon
      6 oz Cheese sauce
      6 oz Sausage gravy
     12 oz Shredded hash browns
 
  Butter and grill both halves of an English muffin to a
  light gold appearance.
  
  Place both halves of the English muffin on a plate,
  buttered side up.
  
  Place 2 strips of cooked bacon on each English muffin
  half.
  
  Ladle 6 oz of cheese sauce on one English muffin half.
  
  Ladle 6 oz of sausage gravy on the other English muffin
  half.
  
  Cover entire plate with freshly cooked hash brown.
  
  UDD Notes: I've et this critter. It's good. But, there
  are better (I think) breakfast shoes in Springfield.
  Nearly every breakfast joint around here has a version.
  The secret (if there is one) is in the cheese sauce and
  especially the sausage gravy.
