Holy crap! While driving to a McDonald's to use their free Wi-Fi to download the day's copy of the Sunday newspaper on to my Kindle, I saw a sign that they were selling the McRib sandwich. I had already eaten but I made a mental note to come back another day.
The McRib sandwich is McDonald's faux pork sandwich, consisting of processed pork that is molded into the shape of mini-pork ribs served on a bun with lots of sweet barbecue sauce. The sandwich is not a regular item on the McDonald's menu and would sporadically show up for limited times around the country. The sandwich has a cult like following with people tracking and traveling around the U.S. to partake in the McRib.
Last year McDonald's had brought back the McRib nation-wide for a limited time around this time of year and had a huge success with it. I guess due the popularity they are bringing the sandwich back again nation-wide this year for a 3-week period until November 14th.
There has been no word so far if the McRib will become a regular item on the menu or if this will be an annual event like their Shamrock shakes or cherry baked pies. Maybe I will celebrate Halloween with a McRib meal. Now Count Floyd, that's scary.
