Picture for Ribwich inspired by The Simpsons

14,664,339 views This week we return, once again, to the seemingly bottomless pit of pop culture food parody that is The Simpsons. Never one to shy away from making fun of McDonalds, America's favorite family now grapples with an otherworldly force known as the 'Ribwich'. I was going to make a "rib" patty, like they would in a fast food context, but I'm just getting out from under the flu and didn't want to. I'm sorry.

Using a paper towel, remove the membrane from the back of all the ribs and then coat each side first with the wet rub and then with the dry rub. Once ribs are nicely coated, wrap them together in plastic wrap and place them in the fridge for 8-24 hours.
