To McRib, or not to McRib – That is the question. (An Official Review)Over the years, I’ve developed a nice sense of taste. Along with that amazing sense of taste has come a love for the cheapest and only 5 star meal in my eyes from a fast food joint; The McRib.I love McRibs, I’ll just let you know that right now. If you were to ever ask my opinion whether you should go and get yourself a McRib, I’d say “is that a serious question? OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!)Well, the other day I was coming home from my usual mid morning coffee and maybe a light meal and I heard the most amazing thing I’d heard in weeks. The commercial said that the McRib is back! Of course there was that “only at participating blahblahblah” line at the end. However I knew I had to go and get myse Beverley Restaurants lf a McRib, right then and there! I drove on down to the store, hurriedly I might add, and ended up getting there 5 minutes faster than any legally driving driver would have. I rolled up, and no, nope, wasn’t there the McRib that I’d be longing for the whole drive to Mcdonalds wasn’t even on the menu…I was kind of torn inside.I ended up ordering a soda and pulling up to “the second window” and was a bit mopey. To say the least! I figured I’d give it a try and ask the cashier employee to add a Mcrib to the order. I did exactly that, waiting (which seemed like an eternity) for a response avidly. He replied with a “sure, but you shoulda ordered it when you got your drink sir.” I was so happy, that I ignored that rudeness that he showed and yelped a little bit.
