McRib

McRib is an every day item in Germany. I had one this summer while on vacation.
 
I estimate four days of no food before I’d be interested in eating a mcrib. Suppose I could be off by a day and holdout for five.

11 hour flight to Germany and there was a McD's on the walk from the terminal to the train station, the kids were hungry. :laughing

Since there was a McRib on the menu that is what I ordered :p
 
Don’t you have to sign a waiver when ordering a McRib. So it’s made clear to the customer that it’s a toy and shouldn’t be mistaken for real food.
 
Tomorrow I’m gonna get two more and see if they’ll give it to me in the Halloween Happy Meal bucket thing. That will be the ultimate lunch right there.
 
Since they'll sell you the bucket on its own without any food purchase, I'd say you've got an extremely strong chance. :laughing

Well shit. That’s a done deal then.

My wife is going out of town for a few days next week. She asks what I’m going to eat for dinner without her. We’ve been together for almost 17 years now, the McRib is back, and you still gotta ask?!?! Jesus. And she thinks I don’t pay attention.
 
Mickey D’s press release and there will be a McRib merchandise line:

Haven’t tried the McRib. Did I really see a commercial the other day saying it will be here one last time and will be going away forever? They repeated that line a couple times. As popular as that product is, that doesn’t make sense unless it is a loss leader (doubt that). Maybe it is a marketing ploy to get a ground swell of attention or a petition going to keep it and create news. :dunno
 
Some people seem to be under the illusion that McRib fans don't know what they're eating. We know exactly what we're eating, and eat them anyway.
 
My local McD's advertised the McRib today. So decided to get one. It was about as flavorless as can be. Every now and then you'd get a taste of the BBQ sauce.

Can't say i'll go back unless i forget this moment in 10 years.
 
First and foremost, they are still awesome and simply the finest fast food offering ever.

That said, the McRib was even better years ago. In the early to mid ‘90s, McDonald’s restaurants switched over from the big ol’ warm bin full of stacked up burgers already wrapped behind the counter to the on demand system. I was working at one during the switch and immediately tasted the difference. Either system, the patties are first cooked on the flat top. Old way, they were immediately tossed into a big bin full of BBQ sauce just sitting on the side of the flat top more or less just simmering…sometimes for maybe an hour, two, hell maybe even more (what we worried they gonna go bad?). Longer they sat in that simmering pot of sauce, the better. The new system, the patties sit in a tray full of sauce (along with all other cooked things like McNuggets or burger patties) and sit in there until demanded, but allowed to cool off. Buns are pre toasted and sit in another cabinet until demanded. When an order comes up, the components are assembled, wrapped, and put into a “Q-ing” oven (McDonald’s way of saying “microwave”) and reheated before serving.

The microwave thing is why a whole lot of items at McDonalds used to taste better back in the day. And also negates the old trick of “special ordering” something like saying no pickles or whatever thinking you’ll get the freshest possible food.
