The limited-time offering will return to menus nationwide on Nov. 1, McDonald's announced Thursday. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the McRib, which was a dud on its debut but has bounced back to become a fan-favorite menu item.
The sandwich is a boneless pork patty, shaped like a rack of ribs and smothered in barbecue sauce, then placed on a homestyle bun. Price varies by location.
McDonald's first added the McRib to menus around Kansas City in 1981. The chain pulled it from its menu four years later. But it has become a cult favorite among McDonald's loyalists in recent years.
