Moldova McRib Variation Available

Leave a reply

With the McRib’s return now in at least Northeastern Pennsylvania, we also have received word (Thank You Pierre!) that a variation of the McRib is now available in Moldova as well. Through the use of an online translator service, we see this variation comes with mustard sauce, horseradish sauce, finely chopped white onion, pickles, and a corn bread bun.
English Pierre indicated he paid roughly $3.64 for the medium Pork Sandwich meal, which is alike pricing here in the United States for a McRib sandwich.

The picture shows either the mustard/horseradish sauce peaking through or perhaps even corn itself on the sandwich. From the Photos Pierre shared with us, we can see that there appears to be none of whatever the yellow actually is.

Initial 2015 U.S.  McRib Release Limited

Leave a reply

We have been reporting on the 2015 return of the McRib with hopes the imminent return would be nationwide, or at least be available in multiple regional markets. Our investigation thus far has provided that the initial return may only be in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region. As is always the case, each restaurant has the option to bring back the McRib when they would like. It appears the Northeastern Pennsylvania region is exercising this option to bring back the fan favorite a bit earlier this year. 

While this is great news for fans in this region, it is unfortunate for fans outside it. All is not lost, we did get the expected response of “typically fall” from a few locations around the remainder of the U.S. This keeps our hopes up for an eventual more widespread return later this year.

@alRoker Ditch the #McRib Locator? Ouch.

Al Roker recently published an article from the today Show about how to make your own McRib. In this article, he starts off with “You can ditch the McRib locator and stop asking “When is the McRib back?” with Al Roker’s DIY McRib”. Ouch Mr. Roker, you don’t hear us talking about ditching the national news meteorologist to instead utilize the weather rock. Dig aside, in the video he does a quick showing of how one could make the McRib at home. The video certainly makes this look easy enough, and his use of Pork shoulder does a good job of mimmicing how the patty is made.

What do you think, are you ready to dive in an try your own or will you stick to the real thing?

Is the McRib really a product of the US Military?

Earlier this month Vox reported on a program at the Natick Soldier Center for Research and Development responsible for making food products for feeding troops in combat situations. As part of the research, the team was tasked with coming up with a less expensive steak option. As part of this research, they devised technology to restructure meat products to look more steak like for the soldiers. As is typical of innovations here, it appears the technology found commercial application and the McRib was a later product.

Latest information on upcoming US McRib Release

Leave a reply

Roughly a month ago we relayed information that the McRib would be making a return in the United States in 2015. The information thus far is for at least a return to Northeast Pennsalvania restaurants.
Looking back to last year, we see these were locations within a drivable distance for many people that ended up not seeing the McRib return to their local McDonalds.2014 McRib NEPA release
We know a few locations will see a return in August, however more widespread starting in September. We have not received information about a return to other parts of the country as of this post. If we do, we will be certain to let you know!
