My wife has been working pretty hard on a few projects. After completing a grueling evening of work, she announced that she wanted to go to McDonalds. We bundled up (6 degrees out) and we and our two dogs jumped in the car and headed off to the nearest McDonalds. Cautious not to get our hopes up now that McRib season is in extra innings, we saw the always welcome McRib sign in the window at the McDonalds. We pulled up to the drive through to make our order. While not on the menu, we asked if the McRib was available, and were told that it was and our order was set.
Happy that we would be able to enjoy perhaps what would be our last McRib, we went to the first window to pay. The cashier was having a discussion with another employee. After they completed their conversation, the cashier informed us that he had just been told they were OUT of McRibs. We resorted to ordering a Filet-o-Fish.
Thus brings a conclusion to the McRib season here in Burnsville, MN. We will miss the late night runs for McRibs, although look forward to the next time it shall return…whenever that may be.

What a sad story! My eyes grew misty and I could feel my lower lip begin to quiver a little. It’s like “Things We Lost in the Fire” all over again… except hopefully there will be a “sequel” to your story. Until then, stay strong, my friend, stay strong.
