McDonald’s prodigal sandwich has returned!

Yes, The McRib is back and don’t think the internet hasn’t noticed. Pictures of the fast food restaurant’s seasonal barbecue sauce-slathered pork sandwich started springing up all over Twitter earlier this week.

So, how did the Stern Show staff’s biggest fast food fans take the news? “Fast Food Maniac” author Jon Hein said the McRib’s return is something “special,” adding that the sandwich “tops the Shamrock Shake as the best McDonald’s LTO (Limited Time Only) option of all time.”

JD Harmeyer, on the other hand, has gone quite a few years without indulging. “I liked them as a kid,” he said. “But haven’t had one in a long time.”

And here’s how social media reacted:
