McMenu: Do-It-Yourself McDonald's Restaurant Recipes
Regular Hamburger

The McDonald's regular hamburger is the one that got it all started in 1948. It's as basic as can be... yet the ones they serve today don't even taste CLOSE! Make them exactly as I instruct, and you can enjoy that long-lost flavor once again.

(In the mid 80's, McDonald's began cooking both sides of the meat at the same time. This was to cut cooking time in half. But it also forever changed the flavor of the original hamburgers - ALL of them!) Ray Kroc discovered the McDonald brother's San Bernardino, California restaurant in 1954 while selling multi-mixers. (milk-shake machines) He was so impressed with their methods, he struck up a franchise deal, and in 1955 opened his first store in De Plaines Illinois. Oh, and he went on to earn multi-millions.
"Ten Regs please"... "Ten Regs, thank you"
(An old production call for ten burgers)

And where would one find MacDonald's hamburger seasoning?

Yep! And the burgers were 15 cents and the cheeseburgers were 19 cents. Christ I'm old.

It's Des Plaines and the original building is still there. Looks just like the one pictured.
