While they are having one heck of a party down in Texas, much of the rest of the country is left looking in from the outside and wondering when they too will be able to feast on a McRib in their neighborhood.

Don’t worry our fellow McRib Maniacs, we received information today that the McRib is still coming back in mid-December. Additionally we heard directly from McD’s HQ that there will be some lucky towns that will get it yet this month. With conformations in CA, KS, MO, and TX we can see this information already coming to fruition.

There are a lot of people that hunger for the McRib (including us). One way you can help is if/when you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo (photos@mcriblocator.com) of your receipt showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed. The stomachs of McRib fans everywhere will thank you.

1st McRib of 2012 Season

As we earlier reported, the first confirmed McRib sighting was in El Paso, TX and was sighted by Erica A. Erica actually had her first McRib yesterday, following a lunch time desire for french fries. An additional interesting tidbit is that the McDonalds nearest Erica was closed for remodeling, thus she ended up at this location. Erica didn’t capture a photo of her receipt yesterday, however met up with her husband today for some saucy love at McDonalds and provided a receipt to acknowledge confirmation.



Thank you Erica for your confirmed sighting, and also congrats on providing the first McRib confirmation of the season!

We also received a few reports of McRibs being available at other locations in Texas today, however have not yet received receipts to confirm these sightings.

If/when you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo (photos@mcriblocator.com) of your receipt showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed.
