I'm including my special sauce recipe here, or follow this link to grab a bottle of my Burger Special Sauce. Follow my Mcdonald's Big Mac hamburger recipe below for that same popular taste at home. It is now the world's most popular hamburger. The double-decker Big Mac was introduced in 1968, the brain-child of a local franchisee.

Today the company racks up about $50 million a day in sales in more than 12,000 outlets worldwide, and for the past ten years a new store has opened somewhere around the world an average of every fifteen hours. The first day Kroc's cash register rang up $366.12. Kroc later founded the hugely successful McDonald's Corporation and perfected the fast food system that came to be studied and duplicated by other chains over the years.

Kroc befriended the brothers and became a franchising agent for the company that same year, opening his first McDonald's in Des Plaines, Illinois. When the brothers began to order an increasing amount of restaurant equipment for their growing business, they aroused the curiosity of milk-machine salesman Ray Kroc. Brothers Dick and Mac McDonald opened the first McDonald's drive-in restaurant in 1948, in San Bernardino, California.
