All Hail The Mighty McRib!
It was exactly 1:24 AM on October 19th when I took my first bite of a McRib since who-knows-when.
I missed my old friend, the glorious boneless pork product with one of the most loyal, determined fan bases in the fast food world. Some stories of McRib sightings had gotten back to me in the past, and while I never went to great lengths, I did do a little exploring. Twitter colleague @Legendary23 told me he’d seen lines for a McRib spilling out of a McDonald’s about 30 miles away, so when I had a jones for a late night snack, I hit up a closer location to see if I could score the elusive sandwich.
Jackpot.
Every bite was like a trip down memory lane. The sub roll, the sauce, the light pickles and onions… terrific. A Dr. Pepper went with it perfectly. If you haven’t been able to get in on the craze yet, you should on November 2nd when the McRib officially returns nationwide, albeit temporarily.
Now if only they could bring back the Arch Deluxe and the Coke float…

This is great! My wife’s birthday is 11/2, and she is big on ribs, part of her cultural heritage. (The Red Chinese and the rednecks have a lot more in common than they realize.) Now I know where to take her for birthday dinner (and maybe lunch earlier that day). We can explore American voting ritual in between. Thanks for the tip.
