What has 500 Calories and 26 Grams of Fat? McRib is Back!

500 calorie McRib

From today through November 14th at selected McDonalds' locations around the country, the McRib will be available once again. The boneless pork creation has developed a cult following and tends to sell as fast as they can be made.
