Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants (餐馆) that sold hamburgers at a low price (价格). Kroc called his restaurant McDonald's. Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.
Other business people watched his success (成功). Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called Wendy's said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald's or anyone else. The Wendy's Company began to use the expression Where's the beef? to make people know that Wendy's hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy's television advertisement (广告) showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. Where's the beef? she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy's hamburger restaurants was a success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression Where's the beef?
