Hey fast food junkies, the McRib is back. But hold on, don’t grab your car keys just yet.

This boneless pork sandwich that has reached near cult-like status isn’t available everywhere. The sandwich is being rolled out in just select locations nationwide.

For those in the San Joaquin Valley, the nearest restaurant to satisfy your McRib craving is unofficially in Tehachipi. An web site created by fans of the McRib – www.mcriblocator.com – identifies McDonald’s locations with the McRib.

The famous pork sandwich is slathered in tangy barbecue sauce and topped with slivered onions and tart pickles and all on a hoagie style bun.

Already, fans of the sandwich are rejoicing its return on social media. And of course there are those who rather not eat pork parts that have been formed into the shape of rack of ribs.

The buzz about the McRib has also spawned numerous video reviews about it, including this one:
