Ended up stuck at a MacDonald's on Thanksgiving night. Pretty much only thing open in Dubuque... As we were waiting someone called in an order for 40 McRibs... It was chaos behind the counter.

Never have figured why a popular menu item is available on a limited basis. Not like meat patties are in limited supply.

McRib consists of a restructured boneless pork patty shaped like a miniature rack of ribs, barbecue sauce, onions, and pickles served on a 5 1⁄2 inches (14 cm) roll.

Yum, yum!

I regret seeing the nutrition facts

Part of the hype is that it isn't around forever. Kind of like Nacho Fries at Taco Bell.

Never had one so the marketing hype has been less than successful in my case. No Nacho fries either.

I think I last had one when I was about 8-9. So it’s been about thirty years...I remember liking it a lot.

So healthier than the fake burger whopper?

I love McRibs. We call them McCrackwiches with a savory sauce, but extra pickles and no onions. Sadly, they don't seem to be selling them in New England yet. Worse yet, I'm not sure I can eat them, glutens seem to cause me troubles.

McRib is lower in fat and calories than just about any sandwich at Panera
