The US McRib release day is here! During lunch and dinner hours, fan should now be able to find a McRib at most if not all US locations. We have already had confirmations in 47 states, and reports in all 50. McDonald’s is advertising the McRib will be on menus through November 20th, 2022. We will be looking for your help late November to find locations still with availability so fans can grab one more McRib before the season completes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many locations this season have had more of a stealth release. These locations have no McRib related advertising space on menu boards, no advertising on windows, and only available upon request. With the nationwide release today we should see the McRib shown in the mobile app, store kiosks, and advertised. While not uncommon for the McRib to have a more quiet arrival for a few days, I can not recall so many locations quietly preparing the McRib for such a prolonged period ahead of the release date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As noted earlier<\/a>, McDonalds is advertising this season that this is a “Farewell Tour” for the McRib. Through conversations with fans reporting the McRib (thank you!) we know that not all locations are promoting this “Farewell Tour”. At some locations the store manager is certain this is the end of the McRib. At other locations the managers do not think that this can truly be the end. A suspicion I have is that this could indicate that next season we MIGHT see a more limited release as we have had in the past. Time will tell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have not yet watched, there is a viral video on YouTube where a McDonald’s employee shows how the McRib is prepared at stores. It is an interesting video of what goes on behind the scenes at stores. The process is not all that surprising, and follows the same process burgers at McDonald’s use other than the rest in sauce at the end. One difference in preparation compared to the past appears to be with the BBQ sauce at assembly time. Today it appears the McRib patty is submerged in the BBQ sauce before serving, however in the past you would see the McRib patty flipped in the BBQ sauce multiple times when being served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
