Time to get all the "ribheads" together and go on a tour to follow the release of the best sandwitch ever - the McRib.

Maybe they'll run a 5 for 5 deal or some other out of this world goodness.

mmmmm......McRib.

And yes, it is THAT good.

"The McRib occupies a unique place in contemporary American culture. With each triumphant return, the restaurant informs customers ?The McRib is Back!? or ?By Popular Demand, The McRib!?

The Wall Street Journal reported in 2001 that the pork industry receives a boost when the McRib returns.

The McRib even enjoys a cult-like following. Web sites are dedicated to petitioning McDonald?s to bring back the McRib permanently. Webmasters speculate on what?s actually in the sandwich and why they find it so delicious.

The McDonald?s Web site does not list the ingredients of the McRib along with the contents of other sandwiches. However, McDonald?s? toll-free telephone number will provide the ingredients to those who ask.

Theories abound as to why the McRib is always returning, never permanently taking its place alongside the pantheon of McSandwiches: Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Filet O?Fish, McChicken and the almighty Big Mac.

McDonalds is possibly the most disgusting place to eat, ever. Ok, well maybe Burger King is worse, but that's still not saying much.

MC and BK is okay, but I don't know about GREAT. On the scale of food greatness they come in at a 4 (where 1 is airline food).

When I worked at McDonald's, McRib was the bane of my existence. So much freezer space.... So much prep time.... So messy.... So many orders....

No love for the Croisanwich, eh? I dare somebody to find a better breakfast for the price.

Bread? check
Pork? check
dairy? check
eggs? check

2 for 2 bucks. Wonderful.

I just heard about it yesterday, and we stopped there for dinner last night :)
It was a permanent menu item at every McDonald's I went to when I lived in Germany. In my younger days, after the school play one night, I ate five.

oh I get it, your scale is more of quantity per $ as opposed to quality. no wonder you like BK and MC.

Yep. I cook a TON.

I make a mean eggs benedict with homemade hollandaise. But it costs me 10 bucks in ingredients and time/mess.

But for a couple bucks, BK and McDonalds are pretty good.

I've never actually had a McRib before. I always say I'm going to get one when they come around, but never do. Guess this is my last chance.

They're actually pretty good, but the cult following is a bit scary. The Simpsons even did a Krusty Burger "Ribwich" parody of them a few years ago.

Is it being sold everywhere right now? Or is this advanced information?

What's the price?

People, we're about to go through something magical here. It's not important who will get rich off whom or who will be exposed to tainted what.
