Lovers of Elusive McRib Pork Patty Track Their Sightings

Before traveling to visit his parents in Nebraska last winter, Jeremy Duensing consulted what he always checks before a trip: the "McRib Locator" website.

To his delight, he found a McDonald's (NYSE: MCD - News) restaurant near Omaha that, unlike most of the burger chain's 14,000 U.S. restaurants, had the McRib on its menu. He bought six of the pork sandwiches, ate one right away at the restaurant, and carried the rest home to Burnsville, Minn., in an ice-packed cooler.

"Either you find places that have them or you're out of luck for the rest of the year," says Mr. Duensing, 34 years old

If you think that chicken was mechanically separated....

Can't hear about the McRib without seeing that "Ribwich" episode of the Simpsons....

I'm in recovery... There was a time, a glorious time, that I used to smash these things 3 or 4 a time. These days I am weary of the return of the glossy cheeks constantly caked over with sauce, could be meat smeared all over my shirt, and those lovely chemically educed grill marks... Serious. I used to destroy this stuff.

WHERE IS IT?

I LOVE the McLobster! I had it recently at a place in Maine. It's a standard lobster roll, with real lobster - the big difference is that they used mainly leg meat, so there were no large "chunks" of lobster in the bun. Of course, it was $8 there (through the Maritimes and Maine, never saw one at the $5.99 the article mentioned), and regular restaurant lobster rolls were $12-14, so I couldn't really complain.
