In less than two months, a beloved — by some — fast food menu item will return once again.
McDonald’s McRib will hit restaurants in the “greater Ozarks area” on Wednesday, Nov. 27, a McDonald’s spokesperson told the News-Leader on Wednesday.
The McRib features five key ingredients: a boneless pork patty, pickle slices, onions, a homestyle bun and McRib Sauce, which is flavored with “natural smoke flavor,” “spices,” onion and garlic powders, chili pepper and beet powder (which are among other ingredients), according to the McDonald’s website . As for the pork patty, the McDonald’s website boasts that it only features four ingredients: pork, water, dextrose (sugar that comes from corn or wheat) and rosemary extract.
The McRib was introduced in 1980 and has garnered a cult following since.

Nearly 30 years after its addition to the McDonald’s menu, a McRib super-fan named Alan created the McRib Locator in 2008. The website allows users to track McRibs nearest to them. The “most recent sighting” was logged by a user in the United Kingdom on Sept. 30.
