The very aroma of the McRib was quite arousing. It’s seductive scent spread through the air like chemical warfare. I quickly opened the box and set my eyes on this “tangy temptation”. Despite the grand build up, I was quite miffed by the size of this creature. I guess I was expecting submarine and I got patrol boat. Regardless of the size, I hitched up my pants, loosened my belt and dove right in.


The age old sentiment that if something tastes too good to be true, than its usually lowering your life expectancy. This couldn’t be more true here. I have to say honestly, that I was blown away by how good the McRib tasted. I’m sure there are a lot of people out there that think I fell off my rocker, or I’m just a fast food fan boy, while the latter might be true, I can tell you that the McRib tasted so damn good, that I could feel my stomach literally jiggle after the first bite.
While not part of the lunch room makeup, the crisp onions and tangy pickles were perfect compliments to the faux pork, adding to my overall euphoria, despite what I thought coming in. I was halfway done with the sandwich before I came up for air and I’m pretty sure if my eating experience was filmed, I just might have been floating higher than the Bieb’s new hair.

Needless to say, I’m currently smitten with the McRib. Despite all of the cyber douche’s labeling the McRib as an atrocity and a bigger joke than the NBA lockout, I’ll stand up to each and everyone and tell them simply, the proof is in the pudding..err pork. The only thing holding this baby back is it’s relatively underwhelming girth (I felt like I could easily have eaten two). But regardless, this is a call to arms, your deadline is fast approaching, come one, come all, raise up, get out of your recliners, and walk, run, skip, swim, drive, or hitch to your local McDonalds and tell the fine employees “McRib Me Dammit, and make it a double!” Hurry before it’s GONE!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MCNUGGER??

For me, it's the McRib. The best fast food sandwich.

The McRib made me who I am today; more than any other form of media, more than film or TV, more than traditional literature, more than fine art. The McRib contributed to developing more of my personality, outlook and perspective than anything else (with the exception of my parents). I can honestly declare the barbecue-flavored pork product sandwich saved my life, and if it weren’t for it, I would not be here today.
That sounds cheesy, I know, so let me backtrack: The middle class Westchester County, New York community where I was raised (coincidentally, one town over from where the McDonald's HQ is located) was 95% caucasian and just under 3% hispanic or latino. Even though I was surrounded by second generation Italian immigrants (my great grandparents immigrated at the turn of the century), I felt strange and/or awkward for a lot of reasons. Being Puerto Rican was certainly somewhere on that list. Also on that list were my taste for theatre, art, and reading — all things I would soon be bullied for -- in addition to my being overweight, having copious amounts of dandruff (which was totally just 90’s hair spray!) and my complete lack of physical prowess (I couldn’t catch a baseball if my life depended on it).
