McRib returns in Minnesota

1 Reply

While the website is showing McRibs spreading across parts of the country, we were excited to find a nearby McDonalds offering the McRib. Kim swung by a Bloomington, MN McDonalds on her way home from work on a hunch. As she pulled up, there it was, the legendary McRib.

It was clear to her that the McRib had only just arrived on the menu as the employee taking her order had difficulty placing the order for this limited time sandwich. A manager came over to help, and mentioned that they were offering a $1 McRib when purchased with a combo!

Upon arriving home, I went out to the car to get something and noted the aroma of the McRib lingering in the car. This reminded me of trips in the past when we had to travel a fair distance to get a McRib.

We feasted on our first McRibs of the season, and they were fantastic.

Meanwhile in the Philippines – New Desire

Guatemala, Germany, and the United States are not the only locations currently serving the McRib around the globe. For what is being reported as the first time, the Philippines are getting into the mix. Not only are they offering the McRib as served in the United States and Germany, they are also offering an option without bun, add rice. This variant is being called the Glazed Pork BBQ with rice.

An in-depth well writen write-up on the offering can be found at Pinas Muna. It is clear from their write-up that they liked both variations and found it to be very popular in their area.

What do you think about the Glazed Pork BBQ with rice? If you had the choice between this and the regular McRib which would you pick?

Confirmation of if the McRib will be nationwide in 2014

Earlier today CNBC provided a story related to the McRib and the 2014 release. Part of the story discussed an overview of the McRib for those that previously were unaware of what the McRib is (yes, there are still people who don’t know what a McRib is).

The story also highlighted that the release will not be nationwide, as recent McRib fans have been indicating. As we discussed last year, the McRib sales have brought success to quarterly reports in the past, so a limited release is interesting.

With a limited release, McRib fans again call out to you help them find where they an get this saucy sandwich. 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.
