Thomas’ English Muffin celebrates its 135th anniversary today
Thomas’ English Muffins have been an iconic breakfast staple in American kitchens (and toasters!) for more than a century. To celebrate the signature Nooks and Crannies goodness crafted by Samuel Bath Thomas in 1880, several of America’s favorite Thomases will gather today, April 23, where the baking began—The Muffin House in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York.
To commemorate the 135th anniversary of the Thomas’ English Muffin, six celebrities with the first or last name Thomas will hand out breakfast sandwiches outside The Muffin House to passersby all morning from 6 a.m. to noon. “Team Thomas” officially includes Philip Michael Thomas (Tubbs from “Miami Vice”); Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton from “The Waltons” and now Frank Gaad on “The Americans”); Larry Thomas (The Soup Nazi from “Seinfeld”); Thomas Ian Nicholas (star of “Rookie of the Year” and Kevin from “American Pie”); U.S. Olympic figure skater Debi Thomas; and Sean Patrick Thomas (Derek from “Save The Last Dance”).
