McDonald's Brings Back McRib Sandwich For Limited Time

(RTTNews) - McDonald's Corp. (MCD) is bringing back the iconic McRib sandwich for a limited time at participating U.S. restaurants.

The burger chain said Thursday that McRib will be available in more than 9,000 U.S. restaurants nationwide this month.

The sandwich, first launched in 1981, was inspired by McDonald's first executive chef. It first appeared on the menu in Kansas City, Kansas, and last appeared on menus in participating restaurants in November 2017.

The McRib is made with seasoned boneless pork and McDonald's signature barbeque style McRib sauce, and served with dill pickles and mild, fresh slivered onions on a toasted hoagie-style bun.

McDonald's noted that like all of its national sandwiches, the bun for the McRib is now free of high-fructose corn syrup.

"While McDonald's has ushered in many new items this year - such as fresh beef in our quarter-pound burgers - we know our fans love this limited time classic. That's why we wanted to bring the McRib to as many fans as possible this year," said McDonald's Chef Mike Haracz.

McRib lovers can order the sandwich at participating U.S. restaurants and through McDelivery on Uber Eats.

Customers will be able to quickly locate the sandwich by downloading the McDonald's Finder app to find participating restaurants offering the limited time sandwich, and swap McRib-themed stickers.

Customers can also download the Uber Eats app to find the nearest participating McDelivery restaurant in their area.
