I was 7 years old and had just moved to a new city where I saw them (and had one) for the first time.<\/li>\n<li>H<strong>ow many McRibs did you have during the 2010 season?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe season is still going here!<\/li>\n<li><strong>What do you eat during the off-season?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don\u2019t actually eat a lot of fast food. I make a special occasion of it during the McRib season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the farthest distance you have driven to have a McRib?<\/strong><br \/>\n373 miles once, from Austin to Texarkana. Where I was living did not have them yet, but where the rest of my family lived did.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do you order your McRib? <\/strong><br \/>\nI typically order them as they come, but I\u2019ll ask for a mustard packet. Or of course, I\u2019ll order a double McRib (or 3) on the right occasion.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Tell us about ordering a double McRib. How did the McD&#8217;s react to this? Do you order it this way all the time?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe last time, the cashier hesitantly said, \u201cI *think* we can do that.\u201d Then she fiddled with the cash register until it worked. I\u2019ve been told they can\u2019t do it, and I\u2019ve had people ask me if I was serious. Mostly it is surprise followed by them defensively telling me it will cost extra. I don\u2019t always order the doubles, but it should totally be a regular option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Favorite McRib Story\/Memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nI had been living in a part of the country that doesn\u2019t have the same high profile market saturation of fast food that the majority of the country enjoys. While on vacation from there, I saw a giant billboard announcing the return of the McRib I immediately pulled into the nearest McDonald\u2019s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What makes you a great McRib fan?<\/strong><br \/>\nBeing from the South, I love pork BBQ and the McRib is the closest any fast food comes to that, so while I don\u2019t often eat fast food, I splurge every McRib season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do you freeze McRibs? How many? How do you decide when to eat them? <\/strong><br \/>\nI don\u2019t freeze them, but I have tried several recipes to replicate them. Some good, some\u2026 not so good.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How does your family\/friends view your McRib love?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey\u2019re indulgent if not entirely understanding of it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What else?<\/strong><br \/>\nI once saw a \u201cRib Sandwich\u201d in a convenience store and added it immediately to my purchases. When I got back to the car, I opened it up and took a bite. We had to immediately pull over and throw it away. The rest of our drive, the car smelled like the foulness that was that sandwich. Just before we threw it out, we checked the ingredients list. The first ingredient was \u201cpork water.\u201d Not pork, not water, no comma, just \u201cpork water.\u201d I now heartily recommend against imitations.<\/li>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br \/>\nThank you Christopher for being our January 21, 2011 McRib Fan of the Week!
