CHICAGO – The marketeers at McDonald’s lied, quite cleverly, when they announced a year ago that the McRub sandwich was being retired and never to return. Now, according to insiders, the saucy pork sandwich, a cult favorite, will be back on menu boards in November, albeit for a limited time and not at every location. The 2022 season supposedly was a Farewell Tour for McRib — not the first, by the way. That clearly again was a marketing ploy. It’s worked many times before. So why not?
Around off and on since 1981. The stacked sandwich is a boneless pork patty in a tangy barbecue sauce and topped with onions and pickles.
