I did not know he was from Uniontown and knowing this makes me suspect that the idea for the Big Mac was not original. I remember having a burger just like the Big Mac at an Eat n' Park in Greensburg, very close to Uniontown in the early 60s. Never the less, RIP.
And people say that Big Macs will kill you young. Pfffft.
Not sure what's so special about that guy. I create hundreds of Big Macs every day.
I'll have one in his memory with fries and a Coke.

The Big Boy doubledecker hamburger which is very similar to the Big Mac, dates back to 1937.
Worst burger at McDonalds.
It was actually invented by Kim Jong-Il but okay whatever you say.
You can have your stupid Big Mac. I much prefer the Big Mick from McDowell's.

This is the correct answer. While he technically created the big mac, he merely copied a popular sandwich from another restaurant and renamed it. Nothing wrong with that.
The signature Big Boy hamburger which is the original double decker hamburger started as a joke. In February 1937, members of the Glendale High School Orchestra, who were regular customers, visited Bob’s Pantry, one asking, “How about something different, something special?†Bob Wian improvised, creating the first (then unnamed) Big Boy, intending the thing “look ridiculous, like a leaning towerâ€. Demand for the unique burger took off and Wian sought a "snappy" name, which became Big Boy.[
