Good news for people who love McRibs: the famous sandwich is finally returning, and fans are over the moon. The McRib is finally back on the menu after years of waiting and many pleas from loyal McDonald’s customers.
As with most great things, there is a catch: you can only get it briefly and in certain places. In other words, you should move quickly to eat one of McDonald’s most famous dishes.
The McRib’s History: A Blast from the Past
When it came out in the early 1980s, the McRib quickly became one of McDonald’s most famous and talked-about products. It was a big hit right away. It had a soft, boneless pork patty covered in barbecue sauce and topped with pickles and onions.
It was served on a homestyle bun. But it wasn’t just the taste that made it so special; it was also the mystery of when it would be available.
Unlike other things that are always available, the McRib has never been a constant item on the McDonald’s menu. It randomly comes and goes, often coming back for a short time before going away again for years at a time.
The fact that the McRib is hard to find has only made it more famous, making it a cult favorite. Fans do everything they can to get a McRib before they sell out.
McRib’s Trip Back to the U.K.
This time, McDonald’s fans in the UK will love this. The McRib is back on tables in the U.K. shortly after being gone for almost ten years. The Independent says that McDonald’s U.K. recently announced that the sandwich would return, making British McRib fans very happy.
Thomas O’Neill, head of menu at McDonald’s U.K., said in a statement that he was excited to bring back the McRib after fans had asked for it for years.
“It’s not just a sandwich; it’s a movement.” “After almost a decade of waiting, we are thrilled to bring back this iconic menu item,” O’Neill said.
He did say, though, that the McRib would only be around for a short time. Fans in the U.K. will have to move quickly to enjoy a McRib again before it goes away.
McRib’s Hard to Find and Widely Available
News stories are about how the McRib is back in the U.K., but this isn’t the only place where the popular sandwich has returned. The McRib Locator is a useful online tool that tracks where the McRib can be found worldwide. Right now, the burger can be found in Canada, Guatemala, and Germany, among other places.
One place that has become a haven for McRib is Germany. The Independent said that the McRib has never been removed from the menu in Germany because it is so famous there. In some countries, the burger is only available during certain times of the year or for a short time. But in Germany, McDonald’s has made the McRib a constant menu item so that fans can always get what they want.
People eager to find a McRib can use the McRib Locator to find out where the sandwich is served. People who have seen the sandwiches can even report them to help other McRib fans find one before it goes again.
Don’t Worry, McRib Fans in the U.S.; the Sandwich Is Coming Back to the U.S.
Fans in the U.S. don’t need to feel left out now that the McRib is returning to the U.K. The head of McDonald’s U.S., Joe Erlinger, says the McRib will be back later this year.
McDonald’s hasn’t officially announced when or where the McRib will be available, but rumors about where you can get one are already going around. The Springfield News-Leader, a newspaper in Missouri, said that the McRib will be back at McDonald’s restaurants in the Greater Ozarks area on November 27.
When the McRib was first introduced in Kansas’s Topeka Capital-Journal, it was reported that the sandwich would be offered in Topeka restaurants beginning the week of November 25.
Some details about McRib’s return to the U.S. still need to be clarified, but fans across the country can look forward to seeing the sandwich in some places very soon. Just like in the U.K., though, the McRib will only be available for a short time. Fans should stay alert and listen for McDonald’s to make statements.
Why Does Everyone Love the McRib?
There are many reasons why the McRib has stayed popular for so long, but one of the main ones is that it tastes and feels so different from other foods. The McRib is made of boneless pork shaped like a standard rib cut. This makes it look like it has bones, even though it doesn’t.
A thick, smokey BBQ sauce covers the pork patty, then topped with pickles and onions. Then, it’s all stuffed inside a soft, homestyle bun, making a pleasant mix of tastes and textures.
The McRib has become a cult favorite in part because it is only available for a short time each day. The fact that it’s not a fixed menu item makes it even more appealing.
Fans can’t wait for it to come back, and when it does, they rush to the nearest McDonald’s to repeat the fun. The sandwich’s unpredictable supply gives it a rush and thrill that most fast food items can’t match.
