McRib Returns in Orlando October 12, 2011?

2 Replies

I received an email this evening from Chris Norris in the Florida area. Enclosed in this email is a monthly event calendar for The Orlando, FL area McDonalds. Chris found this insert at McDonalds, specifically at the McDonalds near Universal Studios.


Most interesting is the entry on October 12.

Zoom in on October 12
This promotion is consistent with what was offered in many parts of the Midwest last year, and the timing again matches up with the release last year (actually this is the same day of October that the first report with favorable reviews from last year showed up).

2011 McRib Production in High Gear

10 Replies

I recently received an email from a source (thanks Stephen!) at Lopez Foods in Oklahoma City indicating that McRib patty production ramping up. They have increased production to 7 days per week in order to generate enough of the McRib patties for release in the near future. The McRib production goes to 7 day per week production, and as soon as the quota is reached, the McRibs patties are distributed to McDonalds.


For those of you that are not familiar with the suppliers for McDonalds, Lopez Foods is a family owned facility in Oklahoma City, OK. They are one of the main suppliers of Canadian Bacon, Hamburgers, Sausage Patties, and McRib patties to McDonalds and other corporations. Searching through the McDonalds site you can look for their suppliers and see their content for Lopez Foods.. Back in April of this year, Lopez Foods was showcased on Oklahoma Horizon. Here is the link to their video.


With the increased production, all signs indicate that the McRib will again be returning sometime yet this fall. Last year’s soft release in mid-October, and the patty production increase may hint to a similar release time frame this season.

McRib Moves out of Campbell River, BC

I recently received an email from Dax Corrigall (the super fan that reported the McRib being available in Campbell River, BC), that had some rather unfortunate news. Apparently an hour prior to his latest McDonalds visit at the time, the last McRib was sold. As this is the last confirmed McRib sighting in Canada, I have images in my head of a stagecoach leaving town for the last time as it heads west off into the sunset.

On the flip side, it also reminds me us that the McRib’s return to the US is only a few weeks away.

Exciting news, initially relayed in from Trevor King (thanks Trevor). It appears that the McRib will be back in Canada starting this week!

Yahoo News Article
Even theMcDonalds Canada Twitter account is excitedly tweeting out the return of the McRib.
Based on email I received during the October 2010-January 2011 US release, I know that there is an avid group of Canadians that are ready to get their hands on this elusive sandwich.

Now the real questions is if you are willing to head out to Canada to get one? Head over to our Facebook wall to vote in the poll.
