McRib fans, rejoice! McDonald's has announced that its iconic barbecue sandwich will be available in participating restaurants across the country in November. The fast-food giant said it will be a limited-time offer, so you'll want to grab a bite while you can. The McRib is returning to McDonald's on Monday, Nov. 2, in observance of its 40th anniversary.
The McRib won't be around for long, so make sure to get your hands on one while you can. The buzz surrounding the annual return of the sandwich has even introduced the phrase “McRib Season” into the global lexicon. McDonald's teased the announcement with a tweet asking followers to activate their notifications for the “biggest announcement”. It's hard to believe that the McRib made its debut four decades ago, but it quickly became a customer favorite thanks to its unmistakable flavor.
The savory sandwich consists of a seasoned boneless pork patty wrapped in plenty of perfectly spicy BBQ sauce, and served with shredded onions and dill pickles on a homemade bun. McDonald's will never make the McRib a permanent fixture due to the thrill of having a limited-edition menu item. The McRib has been on menus on and off for about 40 years and is likely to reappear at McDonald's locations simultaneously this year. When you go to McDonald's to buy your first McRib of the season, remember to check CDC guidelines for the most up-to-date health standards.
Several McDonald's restaurants served McRib sandwiches earlier than usual on Monday due to the launch of this limited-time offer. So don't miss out - get ready for McRib season and enjoy this delicious sandwich while it lasts!.
