On November 2nd, the legendary McRib returned to McDonald's across the country. McRib fans rejoiced. BUT, as every true fan already knows, the sandwich will be pulled from the menu again December 5th.
If you subscribe to the cult of the McRib, don't let McDonald's tease you with this on-again, off-again nonsense. Get even with their flip-floppy ways. Learn to make it yourself.
Saveur's recipe for Barbecue Pork Belly Sandwich with Quick Dill Pickles and Red Onions "reinterprets the McRib using pork belly, which, over the course of a three-hour braise, turns from a three-pound cut into something like the preformed pork patty's blindingly spectacular cousin."
