The McRib Returns
As you might have heard, the McRib is back for a limited time. LIMITED TIME YOU GUYS. I finally gave in to nostalgia, hunger, and "feeling sorry for myself" and had a McRib today. I returned home filled with tangy barbecue sauce and regret.
The McRib is one of those cult favorite McDonalds foods. And yes, I feel like a sell-out just by having typed those words. Like the Shamrock Shake, the McRib was an elusive creation for many years. Sometimes they would pop up unexpectedly in one part of the country, only to vanish away just as quickly. An entire database-driven website was dedicated to tracking the McRib. I once made a detour on my way to Chicago O'Hare airport just to try and snag one. (Failed.)
And now? The McRib's season has come. All McDonalds everywhere are offering them through November 14th. And judging by what I saw there today, this promotion has been a smashing success. While I was waiting for mine, I witnessed five orders being processed. All of them included at least one McRib.
