The Pittsburgh-area McDonald's franchisee who created the Big Mac nearly 50 years ago has died. Michael "Jim" Delligatti was 98 years old.
McDonald's spokeswoman Kerry Ford confirmed Wednesday that Delligatti died at home surrounded by his family Monday night.
Delligatti's franchise was based in Uniontown, just outside Pittsburgh, when he invented the chain's signature burger in 1967 using two all-beef patties, a "special sauce," lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesame seed bun.
After several naming trials, the Big Mac was released nationwide the following year.
