They're a 1-2 times a year product here in LV, and I see them
occasionally when traveling. I don't want to upset anyone or appear
unsofisticatered, but IMHO, they're not bad for a McDonald's mass market
product. I'd much rather have a good Carolina pulled pork sandwich with
slaw and a little Texas Pete on it, but when I'm wheeling through
Tonopah on my way up to Reno, a McRib with fresh onion pieces isn't all
that bad, and the sauce isn't much different than regular KC style.
