Following in the footsteps of McDonald's and it's iconic McRib, Subway has just debuted a mouth-watering new BBQ Rib Sandwich. While BBQ season may be drawing to a close in many parts of North America, this new sandwich ensures you can enjoy the smokey taste of BBQ ribs without having to fire up the grill.
The new BBQ Rib Sandwich is a savoury creation that consists of a boneless pork rib patty topped with pickles, onions, lettuce, and a generous portion of savoury BBQ sauce. The sandwich is served on the bread of your choice and can currently be found at select locations in the southern states.
Of course, this isn't the first time Subway has dabbled in BBQ fare. Way back in 1999, the chain debuted a very similar BBQ rib sandwich pilled high with even more veggies.
