McDonald’s McRib is back; Is it the final time?

McDonald’s McRib is back; Is it the final time?

The McRib is back, and McDonald’s hints it could be the last time we see the sandwich.

The McRib, which is available until Nov. 20, pops on the fast-food restaurant from time to time since it was semi-retired in 2005.

“Get one while you can because this is the McRib Farewell Tour,” McDonald’s writes on its website. “Enjoy our famous pork sandwich as if it’s your last!”

For the uninitiated, the McRib sandwich is a seasoned boneless pork dipped in a BBQ sauce, topped with onions and dill pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun.

The McRib, which originated in Kansas City in 1981, returned in 2019 before becoming a nationwide sandwich again in 2020 for the first time since 2012, according to the fast food restaurant.

It’s a permanent menu item at McDonald’s restaurants in Germany and Luxembourg.
