1977 THROWBACK: "THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE BIG MAC"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- The Big Mac was created by Jim Delligatti, who stated later he didn't invent the Big Mac but merely copied the double deck hamburger marketed by the Big Boy hamburger chain since the 1940s. Mr. Delligatti operated several McDonald's restaurants in the Pittsburgh area.

Back when McDonald's was worth eating. The hamburgers and fries were served hot. The fries were crispy and tasted way better. The pies were fried and we're phenomenal. Today McDonald's is overpriced crap!
Got my coffee barely hot today. I had to request a hot coffee where a good mannered manager replaced it. BUT by the time I did get it, my Quarter Pounder and fries were cold!
The fries had beef tallow added to the fat they were fried in
*Back when the Big Mac was actually BIG...*
@@gargantuaism *Size is relative. As a child, it seemed to be much larger...*
This was at a time when you were served with real food, kind people, and working for McDonalds gave you pride as an American.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You’re right, nobody cares
@@stephenlan5450 That's the problem. You're living proof.
Humans were served at micky D's with real food?😂
@@stephenlan5450they’re on Camera
Ok boomer
I feel bad for the younger generations that will never experience what we had in the 70's and 80's. Amazing people that actually cared and provided real service, even at Fast Food resturants.
Well people finally realize how corporate America screwed them over. That’s why I started my own business and I have over 139 employees under me. I have the lowest turnover ratio in Atlanta, and the biggest reason why is pay and benefits. I pay my employees well and they’re not overworked either, including having unlimited sick leave and 40hrs of vacation time when employees start working on their first day. And my employees deliver the best customer service, because they’re happy. Corporate America used up American workers until now, and yes I grew up during the late 70’s early 80’s myself and I also remember that employees were forced to work long hours with the lowest wages and forced to kiss customers ass so the money continues to roll in for corporate profits. If I shit on my employees, I would be *”Generational”* wealthy but I chose this route because I came from nothing and I remember where I came from
@@gregd4633 what is the business?
@@patriotdrone9566 I own a chain of clothing stores located in the Southeast. I own an independent investment firm that specializes in retail properties and hotel/restaurant development and ownership. Started my portfolio with a *Springhill Suites* in downtown Atlanta and now I’ve grown to 5 hotels and three restaurants including the retail chain. I’m opening up a new retail store in SouthPark Mall in Charlotte, Nc this coming March
Then why did our parents say this food was shit even way back in the 1970s? Don’t act like it was haute cuisine back then.
@@gitgeronimo9375 Compared to the absolute trash you get today it was like fine dinning at a 5 star restaurant. Hell, most fast food employees today don't even want to acknowledge your existance.
The fries were fried in beef fat back then and tasted fantastic
And look how thick those beef patties were.
Now it’s about 1/4 the thickness.
I agree!!
@@cheesesteakphillyyou sure about that? 6:48 look at how paper thin they are.
@@AnontheGOAT right! Homies tripping.
Remember the apple and cherry pies? Also fried in animal fat, and it was glorious. You HAD to have them. Now they're climate net zero low fat nanny woke atrocities that make you frown when you eat them.
That's when McDonalds employees even behaved as if they worked at Chick Fil A. It's a damn clown show at most fast food places these days.
That's cause McDonald's was a new thing in those days its now w oversacturated market u will find a mcdonalds on every corner now. So u don't expect much from it these days
What's a chick fil a?
That's not the reason.@@user-lz7kq8ne9e

It's a restaurant chain. Their fries and sauces are great!@@100tallpaul
The good ole days of styrofoam containers at McDonald's 😂
Yes sir there was a McDonald's express where they sold the single and double hamburgers on seaseme seed buns
Opposed to today in 2024 where literally everything in the stores are in plastic containers. Give me back the days when at least the drinks came in glass bottles that were recyclable.
They did that with the mc dlt bac then im 46 now
Hell yeah! Especially glorious was the era of the McDLT... the pinnacle of fast food styrofoam excellence!
I remember that and the ice cream
That worker didn't know what he was doing. 🤦♂️
And love the honesty of the Big Mac creator when he said the Big Mac was dry. 😅
1970s big mac > 2000s+ Big Macs. Quality has definitely gone down while price grew.
I remember my much older cousin flipping burgers at McDonald’s in the early 80’s. The food looked, tasted and smelled 100 times better than it does today. It was quality food. My parents used to take us there as a treat. Nowadays I wouldn’t want to take my kids there.
I have a memory of me and my brother eating Big Macs in the folded-down back seat of our dad's '65 Mustang GT fastback. The burger was wrapped in foil-lined paper with a light cardboard sleeve slipped over it. Anyone else remember that? Before the styrofoam got popular in the industry.
I think McDonalds put a cardboard ring around it to hold I together
Blue suit man deserves a cool nickname. Maybe I'll call him....
Burger King.
😄
🤣🤣🤣
The Barron of Burgers

Or Hungry Jack in Australia.
Haven't had a Big Mac in years but that thing is like drugs you never truly quit. One day at a time.
From the time he put on his jacket he already sweated out his shirt before he got to his car
He was a sweaty McGee! 😮😂😂
They used to call him ol’ sweats mcgee 🤣
That's when people touched the food and the food was great
You see he had one bite out that crap food , lovely
I worked there in the 80’s and the fingers on my left hand were just about numb to any kind of heat. This was when you actually had to cook them and when you pulled them off you’d actually have to drain the fat by holding the patties against the spatula. Good times.
I LOVED THIS!
It brought back memories of the old packaging, which was more convenient yet bad on the environment.
I wish my dad had owned a McDonald's back when I was a kid in the 1970s❤
Thanks for posting!
how old are you
Love these classic posts. I prefer RUclips over regular 📺
My parents seriously thought about owning a McDonalds in the 70s but backed out because the decided the $100,000 they needed to borrow to buy into it which would be like $1,000,000 today was too big of a risk. They both had good jobs and did pretty well but they always regretted not doing it.
Yep, I loved working at McDonald’s as a teenager. I worked hard but it was a lot of fun. Video brought back memories.
*Now it's the small mac. 2 patties that are 1/10th of a pound doesn't even make it a quarter pounder lol*
True. That’s the reality of today. A 16 dollar Big Mac combo with two small patties on three small buns with French fries and a drink.
Imagine being a millionaire in the 70's
It would be fun.
All the coke you can snort
@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk I'd be dead in a week. Lol
@@einstein7526 not me
70s music was amazing. 70s television really sucked. yea them Mcdonalds stock shares were less than a dollar in the 80s and as a franchise owner, you were given tons and tons of it.
Remember going to work there very well. One of my first jobs. Absolutely hated their uniforms. $2.35 hr. Worked 30 hrs a week after school & weekends. Worked my way up to maintenance. Best thing about that. I got to escape to the roof. Quick smoke and fresh air while checking the exhaust fans & greasy traps. Those were the days.
Wow...how did we all survive without all of the cooks wearing gloves? 😂😂😂
Shocking.. I know. I probably ate alot of fece/booger burgers lol
Probably more people getting sick and we don’t know because of gross gloves
Today McDonald's franchises are creating massive plastic landfill waste as employees put on blue disposable gloves everytime they place beef on the griller, then remove the gloves, the immediatley repeat the putting on of fresh gloves, disposing them, and doing it all over again, allday, all night.
@@Modernairethen they give us paper straws to drink from and call themselves environmentally friendly 😂
1986 I started at McDonald's for just over a year, fun job, learned a lot. We made the burgers exactly this way, same season after the sear, tools(the sear tool was just for searing though), trays, packaging, Same hats, too. Cool video!
then you went to Architect school
I’d love to have one of those old searing tools.
87. Loved working at McDs.! We blasted the Big Mac sauce like nobody's business and sometimes surprise guests with an extra shot!
@@Modernaire We once had a rude customer who ordered a speedy filet with extra tartar sauce. She got 2 blasts, and you know a lot of tartar sauce comes out vs the big mac sauce. She came back and said it wasn't enough. We gave her another and blasted 5-6 the til it filled the bottom half of the styrofoam container. She didn't complain. We were rolling. Good times.
So, this is the f*** that destroyed my childhood? Thank you sir.
That's funny!
Well damn.
How'd he ruin your childhood?
This actually ruined my future
"Ill take a hamburger, hold the pickle, hold the relish.....No i mean, excuse me, im confused." She funny as hell.
I don’t get that part what’s so funny about it
Shes a twit.
@@jawbreaker8363she was singing the Burger King song
it was actually "hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us… Have it Your way, Burger King"
The cheesey faux acting really cracks me up. I think it was an "Evening Magazine" thing. They were trying to be engaging? I think?
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW GOOD THOSE BURGERS TASTED BACK THEN???
I'm old enough to remember when. We went there and Carroll's. You can't eat at those places anymore with all the garbage they serve
It was same taste you todger
@@kentmarsh6442 It was even nice to dine-in at some fast food places. These days the dining areas are kept so nasty you would lose your appetite.
No gloves, no hair nets, no food safety, no complaints!! Love it! 🇺🇲😁
The original Mac Daddy
😂
The Big Macs never disappoint whether you are in Canada, England, or the US. The only time they managed to mess up the Big Mac was when they first introduced the brioche bun.
Back when the employees didn't have purple and green hair with tattoos on thier necks and spoke english and you didn't think they spit on the food
Back when they were touching your food with they're bare hands but your worrying about hair color and tattoos guess people aren't allowed to express themselves😂😂
@@kvntimmlook at you with your emojis all proud of a crap comment
Back when nobody had an iPod in one of their ears and the cell phone was never heard of. The worker paid total attention to the customers and not look at their facebook every two minutes
@@John-lp5xh 😂😂More emojis and anyway like i said Tattoos etc doesnt have anything to do with ur food cause you dont like the appearance doesnt mean a person is a bad worker!!!!and if thats the case go somewhere where they make people cover theyre body art hair etc which is not allowing people to be themselves and quick question that i dont need an answer to,what are most people nowadays doing after they order they're food?Most likely social media or just in they're phone as well!!come wit a real logical point if your gonna try and make 1.And lets be real if these phones were able to do what they do now back then do you honestly think fast food workers would'nt have been on they're phones i mean be REAL once again i dont need an answer to that question i already answered it!!Have a good day😂😂And again they were handling our food with bare hands aint no response for that!!!!and please dont think im young and dont understand how things were back in the day I WAS BORN IN 1979✌

Mr.Delligatti, I'd happily pay $5.49 for your sandwich. But, when you get back to your table and unwrap your Big Mac and find you can't tell the difference between it and what's been dumped in the garbage can...

That's good. I like the old stickin' around for a while.

Love it. ❤️
Damn I wish those prices were like that now. Guys we could be in there for breakfast, lunch, dinner everyday just speaking on the prices back then.
That’s what I remember the grill looking like when I worked there in the 80’s. I’m still friends with a few of those people, and I don’t mean Facebook friends. I mean for thirty years I’ve been good friends with the skinny kid that they put on fries. That dude made millions during the “dot bomb” era.
Back then, we had to cook the burgers. Ya know…flip em and season em and actually cook them. When they got older than about 15 minutes, they got trashed/wasted.
Worked @ MickeyD's in 1982.😂
@@jameswood231 my older brother managed one McDonald’s and opened another one, the one that I worked in. He’s now a very successful workshare manager/supervisor in a large chem plant. He attributes his time at McDonald’s as a big part of his success. As a sixteen year old, I was reluctant to work there, but I have to say that I really did have a lot of fun and made some great friends.
Since you worked there way back when, do remember when the Monopoly game came out and how the “game pieces” were delivered to the stores? I remember them coming in huge plastic bags without any sort of security. I’m pretty sure my closest friends ate free the entire time that game was around!
No gloves. And no one complained or died.
You know that from this video
Big Mac been going strong for almost 50 years
Big Mac meal cost $16 bucks now
@@maxxbarzz When I was around 12 in the late 70s and went to McDonalds with my friends my mom would give me 2 bucks. I always got a Big Mac, large fries and a strawberry shake and I got change back.
@@kenlompart9905not anymore it's called inflation
@@D-is4-DAWG yes that also
@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk Actually, according to the inflation calculator $2 when I was 12 is equal to about $10 now so it's more like over inflated.
Never knew McDonald's started out at Pittsburgh, PA., until now. Those Big Macs aren't what they used to be any more, now they're just sloppier, sadder lol, and smaller in size, especially the double quarter pounders, way back then they were huge hearty burgers to enjoy.
Not Macdonalds, the Big Mac. The filet of fish was introduced in Cincinnati because no one was buying burgers during lent. Ray Kroc wanted to sell a Hula burger which replaced the beef patty with a slice of pineapple but the filet of fish won out.
@@rickkopfler8447 That's interesting wow filet fish sandwich first introduced in Cincinnati, nice. With all due respect to the catholics but eating fish in Lent, which i don't understand of, fish has meat in it which contradicts the fact that catholics not having meat such as beef on Lent, to me none of it makes sense.
Let share some Scripture in the Holy Bible in the old testament of the book of Daniel, please read:
Daniel 1:8-14.
Daniel 10:3.
The Daniel Fast, limits certain foods you are allow to eat for three weeks along with water and no other beverages but water, to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ, blessed be His name. Amen.
Some also will say they're not allow to eat pork because of their religion or think it's not good to eat. Everyone can eat pork as long as your not fasting through it but after is when you are allowed to, and too if your not fasting you can still eat pork.
Please read, Acts 10:9-20.
Peace be with you in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
He left his burger 🍔 back in the stack after only one bite 😂
It was a little bit dry.
His fault. He oversalted it. 🤣
He had one bite because the camera was on , he wouldn’t of had it at all.
@@MrSuperG *he wouldn't have not "of" WTF?
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
The "footage" of the Big Mac guy leaving his wife and son, leaving for work at the local McD's...hilarious.
I went to McDonald's today and the diner areas were vacant as usual. It was like coming back to your hometown after decades later and everyone is gone except an old apple tree. So sad and lonely!
customers died off?...coronaries possibly.
Wow the quality looks waaaay better back then!
Like how he ate a few bites and threw it back down with the untouched burgers....good ol 1977 hygiene....😂
Dude lived to 98 !
when life was more simpler.
Can we PLEASE have a MEGA MAC already!
@@D-is4-DAWG Oh wow that sounds great! Good memory good sir!
The grand Mac was a great idea but they put way too much sauce on.
The grand Mac was a great idea but they put way too much sauce on.
It was interesting to see the kitchen prep methods. How they compare to today after decades of optimisation.
I want a Big Mac now, even though I know it doesn’t taste as good as it did 30 years ago.
I think that one of the gimmicks about the BigMac is that he added a thick slice of toasted bread inbetween it, which is very cheap to produce and very filling for customers. The sauce is one of it's most valuable attributes, even though it's also produced with as little money as possible. Interesting, that back in the 1970's, most people didn't know that Mad Cow disease is related to alzheimer's. In 2009, NPR reported that scientists discovered a link between Alzheimer's disease and mad cow disease. Both diseases involve a prion protein.
I'll take the McPrion meal deal please.
it’s there for stability
At 1:07 he entered McDonald’s lot from the exit way. I guess when you invented the Big Mac, you do what you want.
I hope this video ends the discussion of the Big Mac patties were bigger in the old days. They weren’t bigger, you were just younger and smaller, when you ate your first Big Mac.
Well the first 7 seconds of this wasn't awkward in the least bit!😆
and then you raised the biggest generation of degenerates and shift the blame like clockwork
McDonald's started in Pittsburg??? I'm confused. I thought it was Downey, California. But then the internet says McD's started in San Bernardino, California. Anyway, I LOVE old McDonald's restaurant. They were much more friendlier and focused on serving the customer and a cozy fun restaurant atmosphere. Fascinating also. The inventor! The Big Mac's so loved that people are outraged they may be going up to $20! Thank you for sharing this!
This guy invented Big Mac in Pittsburgh McDonald's
big mac started in pitts
One thing I noticed - it wasn’t that big to begin with. Those patties were always paper thin. 6:48 confirms this.
Pittsburgh? I thought McDonalds started in San Bernardino? Even the Ray Kroc McDonald’s #1 was in Des Plaines, Illinois?
Yes you're right. But McDonalds allowed the new idea to be tried out at the location of the person that came up with the idea. If it worked there they would see about allowing it else where.
The Big Mac wasn't "invented." They just copied the Big Boy burger.
If you didn’t say it I was going to
Ok … I’m going to need more info on this please ?
I need to read up on this also. Interesting. Thanks for the comment.
Stop and enjoy a big, Bigboy, a double deck hamburger treat. A national favorite coast to coast , so stop and enjoy a big Bigboy!
A borrowed idea and this has stayed through out the years . Thank goodness for the quarter pounder !
they don't look nothing like that anymore lmao
Ha! I did the same today… I lined up and started cooking my first half dozen big macs. Then the manager called the police and had me removed from the restaurant…🤷🏿♂️
Back when the Big Macs were something to look forward to, instead of a tasteless piece of meat covered in salad.
Man I miss these days ❤
Blue suit guy looks straight out of a Rankin Bass with that shiny red shnoze .
You gotta be kidding me. I can’t believe this guy made a million
The most amazing thing in this video is that the burger patty is being cooked on a flat top and has been thawed out in a warming box till someone orders a sandwich to be assembled. Oh, and the application of the onion with un gloved hands.
Look life before everything sucked 😢
Thanks Reagan republicans
The outside surroundings indicate that this is the McDonald's on McNight Road in the North Hills of Pittsburgh.
Thats when they served milkshakes too, no "sorry, our machine is broken" crap.
That’s what I call premium journalism! 😂
Double Big Mac attack
When I was a boy in Scranton Pittsburg I rode the Amtrak with Rosa parks and marched in the civil rights movement. My names Joe Brandon and I approve this kid jumping in my lap.
FYI Micky D's started in San Bernadino, not Pittsburg.
even the uniform looks more vibrant.
I once had a "Big Mac Attack", sadly I hurt a lot of people that day.
I preferred the Uzi
What kind of hell do we live in now, what happened
An innocent time when America was proud. Let's get it back.
I remember begging my mom to let me get one when I was about 8 or 9 years old. It cost $.55, I told my mom is the cost of two cheeseburgers plus a nickel
Not only was McDonald's started in Pittsburgh, PA, neither was the Big Mac. The Big Mac was created in Ross Township, PA.
Back when the burgers were real
According to the commercial, the suit of armor was hungry for a Big Mac
Even back in 1977 that boss man knew not to eat the potatoes from McDonald's
The older I get I notice that everything that has been around for yrs equals up to nothing now compared to in it's Day..
WOW What a great story and now look at MC DONALDS! CRAZY!
I was ?? Years old when I found out that the special sauce was just ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together
The very first McDonalds was out here in So Cal in San Bernardino, Ca. and the oldest still operating mc's is in Downey, Ca.🍔🍟
1977 when McDonald's fries 🍟 tasted great
He is a lot thinner than I would have imagined.
"Hold the pickle, hold the relish" 😂
So a Big Mac is like a blt burger sammich 😅
Why did it shrink in size or was that another burger in the brown box back in the days
The special sauce ain’t even special anymore I put that shit on crab legs fried shrimp fries all kinds of things I add a unique Cajun blend to the seasoning but his sauce is to die for 😍
Mini Mac-the hamburger patty is the size of a breakfast patty 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
"We do it all for you"? I thought it was "I'm lovin' it"... 😆
History and a classic
Did they wash their hands ?
Ive been boycotting fast food for several years. Before I was vegan I used to eat chicken nuggets several times a week. It was a tough habbit to kick (stop). Giving up french fries and ketchup was tough as well.
If you drive a car you are Not a Vegan! Tires are Made with animal products and Gasoline is made up of Dinosaurs 🎉
thats a very interesting question to ask considering the original airing was decades ago and it's about a product to which you are fundamentally opposed.
It's not meat that makes McDonald's unhealthy. It's the sugar, seed oils, carbohydrates, etc etc.
And now ironically enough as a "vegan" you are indirectly responsible for killing just as many animals if not more than when you consumed meat.
1977. Back in the day where you were treated with respect. Probably got your order right there majority of the time. Back in the day before you seen people fighting over a screwed up order.
I invented the Bigger Mac known as the Grand Mac in April 2010. This was reported to the FBI and Mc Donalds corp.
@@movienerd202 I submitted the Bigger Mac idea in May 2010. Mc Donalds wrote back to me that they only take menu ideas from franchise owners. About 3 months later - the Grand Mac was introduced. Thank you for the suggestion.
That has all the charm and production values of a 70s porn movie.
Thought McDonald's started in California?
It did, the original is five minutes down the road from me
Look how big they was
Were
What are you talking about? They are literally the same size. This video just confirmed it for me. Those patties look thinner if anything compared to now.
@@tomspencer4371 no there not
I know it was the 70's, but those are way too many hands touching one burger!
