"The iconic McDonald's we know today began its journey 85 years ago in San Bernardino, originally as a drive-in cafe with carhops serving ribs and hamburgers."
"Dottie Gladwill, a carhop on opening day in 1940, recalls spilling a customer's malt on her uniform, marking the start of a fast-food legacy."
On May 15, 1940, the original McDonald's restaurant opened in San Bernardino, California, evolving from a drive-in cafe to the fast-food giant we know today. Founded by Richard and Maurice McDonald, this venue was initially a carhop service that featured barbecued ribs, sandwiches, and a jukebox but no indoor seating. The McDonald brothers later focused on streamlining their service for hamburgers, leading to a significant overhaul in 1948. This anniversary highlights the roots of fast food and the transformations that have taken place over the decades.
