Big Mac
The Big Mac is a kind of sandwich, better known as hamburger, sold at the fast food-chain McDonald's. It has 960 calories, and is made using two beef patties, Big Mac Sauce, dehydrated onions, shredded lettuce, sliced pickles.[1] Also, the Big Mac Index is measured in how much a Big Mac costs in foreign currencies. It is the most popular item in McDonald's menu.
History
[change | change source]The Big Mac was created by Jim Delligatti,[2] one of Ray Kroc's earliest franchisees, who was the owner of some restaurants in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. It was designed to compete with a similar Big Boy sandwich. Customer response to the Big Mac was so good that it was begun to be made nationally in 1967. One of its well-known and unique features is a middle slice of bread ("club" layer) used to make sure the contents do not move about and to prevent spills.
Other names
[change | change source]Originally, the Big Mac had two different names that didn't do well in the market: the Aristocrat and Blue Ribbon Burger. The third name, Big Mac, was suggested by Esther Glickstein Rose, a 21-year-old secretary at McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.[3]
