The Exciting Return of the McDonald's McRib Makes Me Happy

(Tyler, Texas) - Well my friends, the greatest time of the year has arrived. No, I'm not talking about Christmas. I'm not talking about gathering around a table for turkey and dressing and watching the Dallas Cowboys. I'm not talking about driving through an East Texas neighborhood ohhing and ahhing at the Christmas lights.

I am talking the time of year when we can sit down and enjoy one of the greatest pieces of fake pork ever created. It's the sole reason that will visit a McDonalds outside of breakfast. It's McRib season and I'm so happy its back.

McDonalds McRib is Back

Here's the thing, I am not the biggest fan of McDonald's. I do, however, love their breakfast. The sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin or sausage biscuit are go-tos. Oh, and that oblong hash brown is so good. Break it in half and add it to your sausage biscuit, you'll thank me later.

But outside of breakfast, McDonald's is not my first choice. I will enjoy their fries or Chicken McNuggets from time to time but that's it. Having said all that, there is one time of the year that I will want to go to McDonald's, McRib season. For one month in either November or December, they will bring back the greatest fake pork sandwich you will find anywhere.

It is in no way healthy for you nor will it compete with any barbecue joint in Texas. It's just a fake pork patty dipped in a tangy barbecue sauce, with pickles and onions, on a long bun. And it is soooo gooood.

McDonalds McRib is Back for a Limited Time

I hate that the McRib is only available for a month. But then, as much as I love that tangy goodness, I would probably burn myself out on it if it were available all the time. So I'll just enjoy it until the end of the year. Plus, there is the bonus of when you're finished, you can dip your fries in the BBQ sauce that dripped off.

To those shaking your head and telling me I'm crazy, it's okay to not like something that's delicious and brings happiness every time you eat one. As for the crazy part, I am, a little, or maybe a lot, I haven't been tested. Happy McRib season, friends. Enjoy.
