Elusive McRib Returns to McDonald's this November

By Sara Schwartz


Save the date, true-blue McRib fans: For the first time in almost 17 years, this unique McDonald's dish will be available at every location in the country for six saucy weeks starting November 2.

No matter that its 1981 debut as a permanent McDonald's menu item failed due to mediocre sales. This boneless, rib-shaped pork patty has been haunting its small, but fiercely loyal (and communicative) fan base with elusive special appearances.

To facilitate the hunt, lovers of this pickle-and-onion-topped barbecue sandwich have banded together on web sites like McRib Locator and twitter feeds like McRibWatch in search of a blip on the McRib radar.

According to the interactive user-generated map on McRib Locator, a McRib sighting was reported by one Mayor McCheese on October 19 at 12:17pm in Hudson, NH. Even government officials are getting in on the fun!

For every limited-time offer, an obsession is born. We can't help ourselves — humans have always prized rare things. And the barbecue-style fast-food item known as the McDonald's McRib is no exception.

As buzz about the November 2 comeback tour grows, we can't help but think about the three to five "farewell tours" that McDonald's launched from 2005 to the present. Will this truly be the last time we can indulge in the slightly mysterious sweet-and-sticky sandwich? Only the McD oracles know ... and they're not giving up the info.

I no longer eat McDonalds or pork but I used to love the McRib

I think there was already a thread on this.

But yeah, the McRib should have been kept on the menu. Pretty tasty.

I cant remember what I thought about the McRib when I last had it...I think it was good.

McDonalds needs to bring back that ****ty Cheesesteak, that wasnt bad either.

Damn thing had me on the toilet minutes after I swallowed the last tasty morsel.

The pickles on it are great. Unless, of course, you just don't like them. I usually get it without onions though. Not good when you're dealin with the ladies, ya know.

Well I know what I'm eating for dinner on November 2nd.

Lemme guess, you're one of these food elitists that won't eat ribs unless they're made of real meat that comes from an actual animal?

Fine, more processed stamped rib food product for us.

Feel free to eat my share!

I can't wait. I used to love the McRib, but I have not had one in years. For some reason, I have been really craving one (or two) recently. I have not eaten at McDonalds in a while, but I will be heading there somewhere around Nov. 2.

When I would visit my girlfriend in college at U Del, the McD's nearby had the McRib JR on the dollar menu!

Yea, it's mystery meat. Yea, it's mega processed... even for McD's.

But it's tasty. I also like Subway's chicken breast. We all know that's a hot mess of chicken like bits.

I just don't like 'em. Just give me the bred and rib

Yeah, I don't even eat that anymore either, it doesn't even taste like chicken and the texture....
