You could get it without the bun! Maybe if you have gluten free bread or buns at home you could bring one with you. I don't know if McDonald's serves them. Alternatively you could make a bun out of two hash browns!

Restructured meat is more widely known by the trade name of Spam. ;)

Vinegar often contains glutens, so the sauce would be the issue. I'm better off just not eating them, my physician would approve of that.

You could bring your own BBQ sauce also. But you are probably right. I am sorry you cannot partake :(

HAPPY MONDAY! Today is the big day.

I’d heard the .63 per pound was the price point at which they bring it back. Your graph adds veracity. Sometimes what you hear on the radio is true.

Oh! And, yuck! I’ve tried them a couple of times and, no.just.no.

However, I don’t begrudge the joy others derive from them.

I just read on Buzzfeed a list of the highest calorie foods at lots of fast food restaurants. Totally mind boggling ...

I'm off to google this, I had no idea

The real eye opener is when you start examining the nutrition charts for casual dining restaurants that sit just above the fast food places. Some of them can make the fast food joints look like health food stores.

I 'll be trying the neat trick of removing the ribs

I couldn't eat that.




Too many pickles.

I remember when it came out in the 1980s. It was terrible.

I distinctly remember a promotion: buy a McRib, get any 2nd sandwich free. Since the McRib was something like $1.79 and the Quarter Pounder was a little bit more - maybe $2.19 - I once tried to order a McRib and a Quarter Pounder, hold the McRib. The manager got mad at me and forced me to accept the McRib. Fortunately another guy in line wanted one so I gave it to him.

Then 20 years went by and I was in Toronto one day talking to buddies there who were planning a McRib roadtrip for that weekend. The McRibs were back - but not at any of the Canadian locations (or at least not the ones near Toronto). So these guys were plotting a bordertown run. That's when I realized the Internet loves McRibs. I've had one since, just to reaffirm what I knew when I was 12: they're not good and they don't remotely approximate anything one would consider real barbecue.

I haven't had one since the mid-2000s. I recall it not being great, but I love getting caught up in the hype so I'll make an effort to try one this week.

I tried the McRib locator and struck out.

However the official McDonald's site says they're available at the 20 closest restaurants. Lunch!

Speaking of fast food hype, isn't Popeye's supposed to have chicken sandwiches again by now? I seem to recall their target was late September to have them back in stock but I have not heard the Internet lose its collective sh** so I don't know if that actually happened.
