Much like drinking can be worth the hangover, fast food gimmicks can sometimes be worth the inevitable intestinal discomfort. The
McRib is ALWAYS worth it. Finally reintroduced after years of yeti-like existence, I was lucky enough to find one at the
McDonald's in Suburban Station prior to their nationwide availability on November 2, which gives me an additional week to eat it for every meal of every day. As good buddy Matt Cannon* said, "It shouldn't be 'Why Did I Eat This,' it should be 'How Many of These Can I Eat?'"
Perhaps a large part of the attraction is its inherent nostalgia and mystique, but then again, maybe it's just goddamn good. I've always been a fan of McDonald's BBQ sauce with its err on the side of spicy and not sweet. Slathered all over a patty of mystery meat topped with pickles and onions, you are dealing with some top-notch second-rate sandwich innards that rest nicely between a marshmallow-soft cornmeal-dusted bun. We have a six week window, folks; let's supersize ourselves. Buen Provecho.

A six week window, unless you plan to fill your, your parents, and your girlfriend’s freezers with carefully packed McRibs. It’s as if I’m preparing for the apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteI’m hoping with all the buzz surrounding the return maybe McD’s will repeat the reissue.
