In 1984, Wendy’s food chain released a commercial with Clara Peller asking “where’s the beef?” The commercial aired in the United States and Canada to highlight Wendy’s use of more beef and less bun compared to their competitors. “Where’s the Beef?” caught on and became a catchphrase for questioning the substance of an idea, product or event.
Clara Peller lived in Chicago after being born in Russia. She was discovered at the age of 80 when doing a commercial in her hometown. This launched her career in commercials including the Massachusetts lottery and Wendy’s.
