With the flurry of reports coming in, we thought we would share an image of the latest confirmed sightings so that you can more easily see if there is one near you. Confirmed McRibs availability appears to be focused in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Considering just a week ago the McRib was only in Texas (as well as San Salvador internationally), it is interesting to see how it’s availability is now distributed.
Keep in mind you can restrict your map to see only confirmed sightings by selecting “Only Confirmed Sightings” and clicking submit in the search dialog to the lower right of the McRibLocator.com map. You do not need to put in a range of dates to search to utilize this feature.
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.

Mcrib está de vuelta
While many McRib fans in the United States are still awaiting the return of the McRib, we have confirmed that it is back in El Salvador thanks to a tip from one of our fans (Andy). Upon loading the El Salvador McDonalds twitter page the image on the left is of the McRib. In reviewing their posts it appears that the McRib returned there around October 26th.
When viewing their website, we see the McRib is also in the mix of featured items as well.
It certainly is exciting to see that the McRib’s return is not limited to only the United States. We of course welcome sightings from around the world, so any and all sightings are welcome.
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.

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.

McRib Poster in Spain
We recently discussed the availability of the McRib in Spain. As an update to this development, Estela Alonso Fraga offers a picture of a McRib poster found at one of the McDonalds in Spain.
While the McRib Locator map does default the focus of the map to the United States, it is certainly possible to report a sighting globally. If you find a McRib anywhere globally, please make sure to report it on the McRib Locator so die hard fans know where they need to go to get their fix.

McRib International News
While the last sales of the McRib in the United States were somewhere between February 13th and 15th, that has not resulted in a lack of availability of the McRib globally.
On February 20th I was informed that the McRib has shown up on McDonalds menu’s in Spain. I was also informed they will be there through April 16th (thanks @M1Q3). Upon review of the McDonald’s site for Spain, I indeed was able to confirm they have them. In the ad on the webpage, they ask readers to run to your nearest restaurant and get one. The map shown is an interesting play on a location map showing where the nearest McDonalds is. Perhaps a nod to a certain locator website?
In other related news, a McRib spinoff has been reported in Austria. The McRibster has gathered the headlines from various news sources such as Time http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/03/01/oh-yes-its-real-mcdonalds-austria-introduces-deep-fried-mcrib/. A deep fried McRib patty with bacon and pepper jack cheese does hold an appeal to me, however I can’t see it replacing our “original” variety here. This isn’t the first spinoff, Japan late last year also offered a different take on the pork sandwich.
