Heck, they re-ordered their spaces for this. Burgers, and fast food as a whole, became an important part of this new culture. It is also about how big cities and the Tier 2 towns, especially those with a pronounced colonial past, aspired to a ‘Western culture’, accessed through America, and adopted it as a lifestyle. The burger story of India, which predates the entry of McDonald’s (1996) and other international chains, is actually not just about what is found between two pieces of bread. In India, burgers have their own history. It never came to India as McDonald’s was obviously targeting a mass market, and beef is banned in most states of the country. He put two of everything in a single sesame bun - two all-beef patties, sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions - and called it the Big Mac which became the signature burger of McDonald’s. So he put two of everything in a single sesame bun –– two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions –– and called it the Big Mac. A businessman from the upcoming coal-and-steel hub of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, he figured a coal miner’s body had to be built first in order to build the town. In 1967, Jim Delligatti, who ran one of the most successful McDonald franchises in the US, offered the company a recipe it didn’t refuse.
The Big Mac at McDonald’s in India is the Chicken Maharaja Mac. “He (Delligatti) may have made them (Big Mac). “In these parts, we called this the Hamburger believing it had ham,” he said when Knutson repeated his announcement, complete with an it’s-the- end-of-an-era look. Sourav had just ordered the Coffee House Mutton Burger. So when they finally met at the Indian Coffee House in Allahabad, where Knutson had gone on work, they did so over, well, burgers. Knutson and he had been Facebook friends for a while and the two have a few things in common, including the burger. Sourav, 47, is a researcher in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. Knutson, a 38-year-old American professor of Sanskrit, recognised Delligati for what he was: a fast food icon who invented America’s most popular and least glamorous meal, the Big Mac.
Jim Delligatti is dead, Jesse Knutson said looking up from his newspaper.
