I'm just going to throw this out here - There are better options than a McRib.

Still nothing in New England. (which makes me simultaneously happy and upset). I was able to snag one in Wisconsin when I went there over Thanksgiving. So I have that going for me which is nice.
If you are in WI, Kwik Trip sells a BBQ Riblet sandwich. I actually think it tastes better, there's a bit of "char" on them, and they aren't sopping with bbq sauce. Their "fixins" bar has pickles, bbq sauce, onions, etc as well. Also, not available in New England, so this too makes me simultaneously happy and sad. |
Tried one of these on the way to my Thanksgiving destination. It was so bad that I just threw it away after two bites. Don't remember it being that nasty in years past.

Cheaper should not be a factor. I would say the McRib appeals to those without access to quality barbeque. That rules out most of the Southeast, with the exception of Eastern North Carolina where barbeque is ruined by the inclusion of massive amounts of vinegar.
Oh, and Doc, congratulations on your impending evangelization. No McRibs in California this winter. Oh, well. |

I have no qualms about eating fast food, being a frequent customer of taco bell late at night, but the McRib never appealed to me. |
Apparently it has returned in some locations.

It's here in Durham ^

I'll have to check my local McDs. I haven't had a McRib in years, but definitely nostalgic for one.
Cheers. Sharon |

For all Simpsons fans and those that might be interested:

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.

The McRib is back!
Attention FlyerTalk members:
The McRib will return to McDonalds starting tomorrow, Monday 10/7, for a limited time only. -J. |
Never have figured why a popular menu item is available on a limited basis. Not like meat patties are in limited supply.

Yum, yum! Part of the hype is that it isn't around forever. Kind of like Nacho Fries at Taco Bell. -J. |

I have never had a McRib. It just doesnt look appetizing.

I'd eat one, just to see what the fuss is about.

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

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!

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.

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. |
