By Wailin Wong | Ribs at Burger King? Sure. The fast food chain is introducing bone-in ribs in three serving sizes at participating restaurants this week.

The "BK Fire-Grilled Ribs" are the result of new product development around the company's "game-changing broiler," John Schaufelberger, senior vice president of global product marketing and innovation, said in a statement.


The ribs "are just the beginning of the innovative product line we can offer with this new cooking platform," Schaufelberger added.

The ribs, which are accompanied by a barbeque dipping sauce, come in a three-piece serving that can be tacked onto a value meal for $1.99. Without the meal, the three-piece serving costs $2.99. More spendthrifty eaters can get six pieces for $5.69 or eight pieces for $7.19, according to Burger King.

There's no charge for extra napkins, apparently.

I love ribs. Can't imagine that these will be all that good though.

Relax Brock. I don't think Burger King selling ribs will cut down on pizza orders so your Tips are safe.

I remember when McDonald's had McRibs in Canada. (Maybe they still do). Did you guys have them too?

Fast food and good bbq ribs, just don't go together.

[Holtgetsback]

looks gross and overpriced.

i'd rather go to a restaurant and order ribs and pay 4 more dollars.

can't see this lasting long

What do you want to bet these are just processed "rib" meat that is pressed into shape around the bones they saved at the beginning of the process?

1% pork and 99% soy can still be called pork. and im sure bk makes a shit ton of money that way.
