Creator of McDonald’s Big Mac dies at 98

Michael “Jim” Delligatti, the Pittsburgh-area McDonald’s franchisee who created the famous Big Mac nearly 50 years ago, dies at the age of 98.

McDonald’s spokeswoman Kerry Ford confirms that Delligatti died at home surrounded by his family on Monday night.

Delligatti’s franchise was based in Uniontown when he invented the chain’s signature burger with two all-beef patties, “special sauce,” lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesame seed bun.
