McDonald’s Video Reveals What’s in ‘Special Sauce’
By Sarah B. Weir, Yahoo! blogger | Shine Food*–*22 hours ago


Although the copycat recipe for the tangy special sauce that McDonald's uses on its Big Macs was has been floating around the Internet for awhile, the company has disclosed the exact ingredients in a new marketing video out of the business's Canada arm.

Over the last couple of years, McDonald's has been trotting out local farmers in its television ads presumably in an effort to appear less like a colossal multinational corporation and more like Ma and Pa's farm stand up yonder. This latest effort emphasizes that the assembly line burgers are actually just like something you would whip up in your own kitchen.

The video shows executive chef Dan Coudreaut making a version of the Big Mac at home. "We have a question here from Christine," he begins, "What is in your special sauce?" To emphasize the folksy experience, Coudreaut strips off his white chef's coat and "has some fun cooking" in his regular shirt and jeans.

He cuts to the chase with that magic sauce. According to Coudreaut, it contains plain old mayo from the grocery store, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, onion powder, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, and paprika.

Next, the chef chops some onion, shreds lettuce, and lays out some sliced pickles, which he emphasizes, once again, are store bought. He cuts a fat bun into three pieces and toasts them in a skillet, and presses out a perfect couple of beef patties with a cookie cutter.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh-area McDonald's franchisee who created the Big Mac nearly 50 years ago has died. Michael "Jim" Delligatti was 98.
McDonald's spokeswoman Kerry Ford confirmed 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.
Delligatti told The Associated Press in 2006 that Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald's resisted the idea at first because its simple lineup of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries and shakes was selling well.
But Delligatti wanted to offer a bigger burger and it went over so well it spread to the rest of Delligatti's 47 stores, then went national in 1968.
