Since everyone is all on how fast food is bad for you, I am going to start reviewing fast food.. take that!.....

anyways!

First up, the new BK Rib Sandwich

Size: It's not a small sandwich, it is about the size of a normal BK whopper

Ingredients: Rib patty similar to the McRib at McDonalds in shape and form, BBQ Sauce, and pickles

The bun was slightly different then other BK buns, it was thicker and they toasted it to give it a more crunchy feel. The rib patty felt exactly like the McDonalds McRib and had an almost similar taste. It was not dipped in BBQ sauce like the McRib is however. BK covers the top of it in a tangy BBQ sauce that has a kick to it and a hint of smokiness. It is definitely a stronger sauce then most are use to with the McRib, but works out great taste wise with this sandwich. The pickles are the only thing that throws the sandwich off some, but still work well together with the BBQ sauce.

If you are expecting a replacement for the McRib, it is close. Burger King definitely pulled this sandwich off and made a pretty good attempt. At approx. $4 a sandwich though, it can be a bit pricy for what you get.

Taste: 9/10

Size: 8/10

Sauce: 8/10

========

Overall: 8/10

Yum would hit that up like a mac truck if it were available in Aus.

Is $4 really on the pricey side of a burget in the States though?

no, $4 is pretty average for a fast food sandwich. People want to think that fast food is still cheap, but it's not. i just paid over $8 for a combo at wendy's today.

great review, however after I tried the McRib and had to stop eating after 1 bite I will be passing on this. If I goto BK, I am getting a Whopper. Keep the reviews coming!!

Chedder stuffed bacon whopper right now isn't to bad. It's a flame broiled beef patty with ground bacon pieces and chedder cheese mixed into the patty, topped with onion rings, lettuce, tomato, mayo on a similar bun, but I think they just ended that promotion for this year... we're on to BBQ season now...

What I hate about these boneless rib meat mushes is they are just dishonest. At least with ground beef I can accept the fact that it is ground up and served in patty form. I doubt these "rib" sandwiches even contain rib meat... they might contain some meat but who knows what kind.

Thanks for the review!

I feel the same way, just because they form some mystery meat into the shape of ribs does not make them ribs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
