Well, apparently it's a big deal. McDonald's has only sporadically offered the sandwich at select locations over the past few decades, but now they are making it available everywhere for a limited time. Normally, I wouldn't care because I don't really like McDonald's, but the fact that there is a full-on cult following—which includes a website where McRib lovers can post McRib sightings—made me curious.
Naturally, after reading about the elusive sandwich and its mysterious pressed-pork patty molded to look like it has bones protruding from sides, I had to do the world a service and answer the question that I'm sure everyone is asking: Is it food?
