Does anyone else have a special place in their heart for this close cousin to a spam sandwich?

I don't typically eat at Mc D's but I seen the news of the McRib being back today and I made a special trip to pick one up and take a ride down memory lane with its meat like patty drenched in it's unique sweet & tangy BBQ sauce only found on a McRib.

I'm pretty sure the McRib is mostly made from whatever the hotdog factory's couldn't use but damn are they delicious!!!

I was debating posting this thread in the lounge or the survival category...🤪

They’re OK, but...Kwik Trip has better ones...seriously.

Im likely not gonna run out and get one, but if I happen to hit McD's in the near future, I’ll probably get one.



(And at first, I thought you were referring tongue-in-cheek to a new XD series, or something...)

Never heard of Kwik Trip is that a regional specific franchise?

I'll have to see if the local McD will have them.

I thought the McRibs were supposed to have a limited distribution.

Our local McD doubled their capacity for taking drive-in traffic due to the Covid.

I read for this year, they were being offered nationwide. Last year, I was told at my local Mickey D's, that they were offered until the BBQ Sauce ran out. The year before at the same place, the girl behind the counter never heard of them before and thought I was making the whole sandwich up. I told her that this restaurant offered them several years ago and then didn't have them anymore, she looked like I was crazy or something. 😆
I remember when they were first introduced and they were suppose to stay on the menu full time. Poor sales caused them to pull them, and then some genius came up with the idea to just have them around the Thanksgiving & Christmas Holiday period. Then they started limiting the regions where they'd sell them. Two years ago, I downloaded their app to find the closest McDonald's that had them. There wasn't any up and down the East coast, with the nearest to me close to Pittsburgh Pa.
Next to the Big Mac, the McRib and Chicken McNuggets are my favorite McDonald's items, but nowadays, I might go there 2 or three times within the year. There was a time in my teens I would go into the local Mickey D's and order 4 Big Macs, 2 large fries and a large chocolate shake to go. They were amazed and disbelieving that the order was solely for me. Even today, I was able to finish 2 double Big Macs but barely, oh for the time I was younger and more active. 🤣🤣

That franchise closed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire a few years ago.

They definitely beat Subway hands down!

The bread in Subway is pathetic. I only liked it for their Meatball sandwiches (but a Rib sandwich (which I never saw nor tried), may also be decent on that bread). I used to get an Italian Sub Sandwich in NJ with bread that was shipped from a bakery in Hoboken NJ. Frank Sinatra use to have that bread shipped to him in Palm Springs Ca. (he grew up in Hoboken NJ). In my opinion, for deli meat sub sandwiches, the Bread makes the whole sandwich (a nice Italian or French Baguette that's nice with firm texture is my preference).

Its almost impossible to find a decent sandwich outside of the northeast.
 
When growing up back east I used to love a local brand of Italien bread, and for years when I went back would make a bee-line for the store to get a loaf. But the last few years they changed their recipe and it's not like it was.

A real Italian bread in my Region is unobtainable.
