"One of the biggest names in hamburgers remains to this day McDonald's Big Mac. This double-decker burger, with a bonus middle bun and special Thousand Island-like sauce, was actually an imitation of a similar one Bob's Big Boy served. Pittsburgh McDonald's franchisee Jim Delligatti willed this burger into being back in 1967 as a way to help feed starving steelworkers."
"Now, Shake Shack has thrown its hat into the "Big" burger race with its new Big Shack. On paper, the Big Shack sounds awfully familiar, with two angus beef patties split between three layers of bun, fortified with American cheese, topped with pickles, onions, and tomatoes, and finished off with a secret sauce. The burger totals 940 calories and 56 grams of protein, with an MSRP of $9.99."
McDonald's Big Mac originated in 1967 as a double-decker sandwich modeled on Bob's Big Boy and created to help feed steelworkers. Shake Shack launched the Big Shack, a comparable double-patty, three-layer burger built with angus beef patties, American cheese, pickles, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and a proprietary sauce. The Big Shack contains 940 calories and 56 grams of protein and is priced at $9.99. The sandwich began rolling into participating nationwide locations starting November 4. A preview presentation showcased a glossy buttery top bun, layered produce, whisper-thin onions, gooey cheese, a toasted middle bun, and two stacked patties.
