I think we have our first McRib Platinum level eater.

Plat is 75 eaten, at that level you get a free upgrade to a 3rd pickle slice.

I wonder if the McD around here has them... I'll stop in today and check it out...

Stopped by McD and got myself a large fry, (not a fan-got it for Monopoly) and the Mcrib sandwich.. Now this is my first time ever trying this sandwiches.. The verdict, It was delicious, now I feel like I should have gotten a second one.. :(

It will take you forever to reach McFib Platinum if you don't. ;)

Do you get lifetime status if you hit the 1MMcrib level??

I don't know. Does anyone have a link to the McDonald's Terms and Conditions for earning status?

Tried it, I prefer their filet o'fish

Is that an annual or lifetime count?

I think if you eat 75 a year you should be entitled to a thorough medical screening.

Went out and got myself a second Ribwich.. Sadly this one didnt have much BBQ as the first one I had, But it was Good.

I haven't been to a Mickey D's in a long time. Had my very first McRib today and I'm sorry to say that it was just OK. I think I started getting all excited about all the hype in this thread and my expectations were unrealistic.

Now those fries, on the other hand.......yummmeeeee! :D

Have a second one. You'll soon understand.
Just breathe normally. It won't hurt you much. Just relax.......

Just pounded down two.

Yummmmm !

Not even the miracle of Transubstantiation could convert a McRib into a menu item of more than vague and remote appeal to a tribe of nomads wandering long in the wilderness without any food.

I used to run a McDonald's in a past life. We'd do the McRibs every year back then (late 80s to early 90s) for about 2 months.

Back then, we'd grill up the pork patties and then drain the grease and submerge them in a marinator (a pan submerged in hot water) filled with BBQ sauce that came in gallon jugs.

To make a McRib, you toasted a bun, put onions and 2 pickles on the bun, and then took a pair of tongs and fished out a rib patty from the BBQ sauce. The key was getting just the right amount of sauce on the sandwich.

Those things took forever to make, were messy, and I sureashell ate my share when they were around. Best part was the end of the selling period when we had gallons of that sauce around. I took more than one gallon of that sauce home.
