The McRib actually has nothing to do with ribs. It’s a boneless pork patty molded into the shape of a rib slab and adorned with pickles, onions and barbecue sauce on a bun. The sandwich made its debut in 1981.
But McRibs are almost never available at all McDonald’s restaurants at the same time. Instead, the Oak Brook, Ill., company offers them in different cities at different times, rarely for longer than a few weeks.
The sandwich’s elusiveness has created a fan base of people who go to considerable lengths to munch on a McRib. Ryan Dixon of Burbank, Calif., once drove 10 hours to Medford, Ore., after hearing a McDonald’s there was selling the sandwich.
Dude, we had these in high school on a monthly basis. They’re good, but not 10 hour drive good.
