PITTSBURGH (CBSMiami) - You may not know his name, but you've probably devoured one of his creations.
It's two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.
Michael James "Jim" Delligatti, the McDonald's franchisee who created the Big Mac nearly 50 years ago and saw it become perhaps the best-known fast-food sandwich in the world, died Monday at home in Pittsburgh.
The Big Mac Museum opened in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania in 2007.
Delligatti, who according to his son ate at least one Big Mac a week for decades, was 98.
