The McRib is Back

Ever since I saw the video "Deconstructing the McRib" on youtube, I've been on a quest to try one. That was 2013 or more probably 2014. I had never had one previously and for years failed to find one afterwards.

Throughout the years, I've at times monitored the McRib map and even found and ordered a McRib on GrubHub once - but they said they were out. I've also tried a few competing knockoff rib sandwiches.

But all that has changed today, there was an ad on DoorDash and the order succeeded. It's like Charlie Bucket finding the Golden Ticket up in here.

So the verdict: it tastes exactly as I expected. Like, I said, I've tried a few knockoffs and it turns out those were very close and so it was pretty much what I expected. It's good and I might get one again but for McDonald's, I prefer the cheeseburger.

Japanese and Korean Snacks: Prologue

 

My family recently gave me two boxes of foreign snacks as a gift. The box on the left is snacks from Japan and the box on the right are Korean. It's going to take a long time to get through it and I can think of nothing better to do than to review them on a blog.

I have someone lined up willing to help me translate and I'm going to try to review the food beyond my usual "it was good". It's probably all going to be too onerous, become a waste of time and ultimately fail so stay tuned!

The Lost Version of Planes, Trains and Automobiles

 There really aren't many Thanksgiving movies. As a major holiday, it's really underrepresented in movies.

When I think of Thanksgiving in movies, the main one that comes to mind is "Avalon". This one doesn't really translate though because, even though Thanksgiving plays a major part in the movie, it's more of a July 4th movie.

The main one most people think of is "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". It's considered a classic. But it's interesting to learn that another, completely different movie could be made from the footage that John Hughes intended to be included.
