Family-owned or sprawling chains, just about every restaurant has time-sensitive material on their menu, whether it’s a seasonal treat, chef’s special, or some decadent experimental dish. McDonald’s is following this pattern, reintroducing the McRib right before what the chain is calling a "Farewell Tour."

It will be available for pickup or delivery before customers will once again lose access on November 20. That’s a similar timeframe from last year, which combines with previous bouts of the McRib’s presence and absence to prove history repeats itself, especially with the McRib. McDonald's has introduced and taken away the McRib in a previous Farewell Tour / Flickr Calling this the McRib “Farewell Tour” is maybe the most fitting moniker out there.
