The American died Monday in his home in the presence of his family, so let McDonald’s Wednesday, know.
Delligatti was since the middle of the fifties, branch manager for the hamburgerketen in and around the Us state of Pittsburgh. In the sixties he played with the idea for its customers in addition to the regular burgers with French fries something bigger to offer and came up with the double hamburger with lettuce and sauce.
He tested the Big Mac in 1967, first in his own restaurant in Uniontown, where he, in 1918, was born. Ray Kroc, the founder and ceo of McDonald’s, the Big Mac’n enrichment that he is a year later already decided the creation anywhere in the United States on the map. The burger grew in the subsequent decades into the international signboard of McDonald’s.

Delligatti has admitted that his invention was based on double burgers from other restaurants. “It was not like the discovery of the light bulb,” he said in 1993 against the Los Angeles Times. “The lamp was already there. I have it only connected to the wall outlet.”
The restaurant owner was also the inventor of the Egg McMuffin, which he launched for the breakfast menu.
Delligatti’s two sons were later also filiaalhouders of McDonald’s, as did two of his grandchildren. In western Pennsylvania, the family manages a total of 21 McDonald’s restaurants. In 2007 opened the family a Big Mac museum near Pittsburgh.
