You might not know his name but you undoubtedly know his famous sandwich, and many of us remember singing its ingredients along with a commercial in the 1970s: "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun." Michael "Jim" Delligatti, the McDonald's franchisee who created the Big Mac, died Monday. He was 98. Delligatti was one of McDonald's earliest franchise holders, opening his first restaurant in Pittsburgh in 1957.(Photo/Agencies)
