Featured News - Current News - Archived News - News Categories Western New York residents to enjoy 330,000 free Big Macs The Big Mac sandwich - with its catchy jingle and elusive sauce recipe - is celebrating its 45th birthday this year. To honor this American icon, McDonald's restaurants across Western New York are planning a special party featuring a tasteful gift for thousands of Big Mac fans. The festivities kick off on Friday, Aug. 23, when: •Local McDonald's restaurants will begin a limited-time promotional offer: "Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun" for just $1.99. •All McDonald's restaurants across Western New York will provide their first 100 customers over age 18 with a very special gift: One free Big Mac sandwich every week for a year. That's 330,000 free Big Macs. Some historians credit the Russian Tartars, the first to eat ground beef, as the inspiration behind the modern-day hamburger. Others say it was German immigrants settling in Cincinnati during the early 1800s who first brought the "hamburger" to America from across the Atlantic. Yet, few would argue that perhaps the biggest universal impact on the hamburger came from a Pittsburgh-area McDonald's franchisee named Jim "MJ" Delligatti. It was Delligatti who added lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and, most importantly, the "secret sauce," to create one of the world's best known hamburgers: The Big Mac. Delligatti began test-marketing a seven-ingredient sandwich at his restaurant in Uniontown, Pa., in 1967. Customer response was so good, he soon introduced the sandwich at three more of his restaurants in Pittsburgh. The sandwich rolled-out nationally in 1968. "Many local drive-ins were serving double-decker burgers at the time. So, to broaden our customer base, I decided to create one of my own. And I wanted it to be big!" Consisting of two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun, the Big Mac quickly gained popularity and status as an American icon. Perhaps Delligatti's most tasteful addition to the Big Mac was the famous secret sauce. Having worked in the restaurant business for a number of years, Delligatti was familiar with the typical Russian dressing used for many sandwiches. However, he knew the sauce for the Big Mac had to be something special. "I would make the sauce in the restaurant by hand, mixing all the ingredients together myself. It was hard work, but the customers loved it," he recalled. Keith Reinhard, chairman emeritus of DDB Worldwide, is credited with developing the famous "Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun" Big Mac advertising promotion, in 1974. The jingle gained notoriety when Max Cooper, a Birmingham, Ala., McDonald's franchisee, developed a "man-on-the-street" promotion that rewarded customers who could recite the jingle correctly in four seconds or less with a free Big Mac. Those who faltered ended up in a local radio commercial in 1974 featuring the bloopers. Today, the Big Mac is sold in more than 100 countries around the world and has become as synonymous with McDonald's as the "Golden Arches." Approximately 550 million Big Mac sandwiches are sold each year in America alone. Japan sells the second most Big Mac sandwiches worldwide at approximately 150 million per year. The sandwich is sold in more than 100 countries and, because of its global presence, inspired The Economist Magazine's "Big Mac Index," an annual comparison of foreign currency values against the U.S. dollar.

Čini se kako je poznati Big Mac ipak malo više od samo dvije pljeskavice, umaka, malo povrća i dvostruko narezanog peciva sa sezamom. Ako ste ljubitelj ovog popularnog hamburgera, sigurno će vas zanimati sljedeće činjenice. Big Mac je izumljen u američkom gradu Pittsburgh Davne 1967. godine vlasnik malene franšize imenom Jim “MJ” Delligatti stvorio je cheeseburger koji se sastojao od dvije pljeskavice od mljevene govedine, zelene salate, kiselih krastavaca, američkog sira, nasjeckanog luka, posebnog “Mac Sauce” umaka i dvostruko prerezanog peciva sa sezamom. Ovaj burger najprije je bio dostupan na svega tri lokacije u Pittsburghu, no zahvaljujući entuzijazmu vlasnika sljedeće se godine proširio diljem SAD-a. Srednje pecivo ima isključivo funkcionalnu ulogu Prema originalnom Delligattijevom dizajnu, srednje pecivo koristi se isključivo kako bi upilo umak, a sendvič ne bi postao veliki nered (eng. Big Mess). Big Mac se koristi kao mjerna jedinica za svjetsko gospodarstvo Poznati časopis The Economist formulirao je 1986. godine pokazatelj imenom “Big Mac Index”, kao jednostavan način za praćenje međunarodne razmjene valuta usporedbom cijena Big Maca u svakoj zemlji. Cijenjeni časopis za ovaj alat kaže kako je vjerojatno najtočniji financijski indikator koji se bazira na nekoj hrani. Big Mac se nije uvijek tako zvao Kad je ovaj hamburger prvi put postao dostupan kupcima, njegovo ime bilo je “Big Attraction” (velika atrakcija), što je bilo vrlo slično konkurentskom hamburgeru koji se tada zvao “Big Boy Burger”. Nakon neuspješnih nadimaka “Aristocrat” i “Blue Ribbon Burger”, mlada 21-godišnja tajnica u McDonald’s-ovom sjedištu, Esther Glickstein Rose, smislila je ime “Big Mac” koje je napokon prihvaćeno. U SAD-u postoji muzej posvećen isključivo Big Macu Istina je! U američkoj saveznoj državi Pennsylvanija nalazi se muzej posvećen ovom voljenom hamburgeru, a ljubitelji hamburgera mogu ga posjećivati od 2007. godine. Muzej također ima funkciju restorana, a otvorio ga je Mike Delligatti, sin izumitelja Big Maca. Također, u njemu se nalazi i najveći Big Mac na svijetu koji je velik nevjerojatnih 4,3 x 3,7 metra! McDonald’s je 2012. godine konačno otkrio recept tajnog umaka Iz nekog razloga trebalo je proći čak 45 godina kako bi ovaj divovski lanac brze hrane konačno otkrio recept svog posebnog umaka. Ako slučajno niste znali, sastojci su: majoneza, slatki umak od krastavaca, senf, ocat, češnjak u prahu, luk u prahu i mljevena crvena paprika. Konzumirate li često Big Mac? Podijelite u komentarima.
