I had a McRib yesterday. It was quite a disappoint over previous years McRibs. Perhaps because it was my first DFW McRib? It was lacking in, well EVERYTHING. BBQ sauce, pickles, onions, random meat... Nothing was quite right.

Now the Spicy McChicken sandwiches -- that may be my new favorite food.

I had my fix earlier this week at my neighborhood (far north Dallas) McDonalds. Seemed liked it was the same as in past years. Oddly delicious.

Followup question: Does McD's breakfast menu (in the US) still have the artery-clogging Steak, Egg and Cheese Bagel?

It was my favorite McD's breakfast sandwich.

I've learned to prepare an equally priced and equally artery-clogging home version (sans egg as I always omit the egg) as a Monday morning hash which I can eat in the car with a plastic fork, but I'm out right now so I've had to resort to store-bought the last couple of Mondays.

Sometimes, just sometimes... the bagel is soft enough, and the 'steak' is just 'juicy' enough that it is pure heaven. Most of the time it is a pale imitation of what it used to be.

McRib is definitely back throughout much of NC. I also had a steak, egg and cheese bagel the other morning. It was not as glorious as in the past (seemed to skimp on the butter spread), but was still delicious nonetheless.

With all the BBQ joints in TX, the McRib doesn't cut it.

Got one tonight to go. For once I remembered to ask for no pickles and onions (I don't like either) and it tasted much better than if I'd picked them off myself ^

According to the McDonald's coupon book in the mail, it's back. And it's been about two years since my last one. Might be time to dive in.

Looking at the "McRib Finder Map" it appears that it is mostly everywhere... except New England and New York. I'm pretty sad about the whole thing. Though I've been doing quite well with my diet as of late, so this is probably for the best.
