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 ^[1].  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…
