Our new category is...

"Pork Chops!"

Photo from L.A. Splash review of Blue on Blue restaurant

...as chosen by Brewmaster, the winner of the Super Bowl Party Food Throwdown!

Here is the NEW AND IMPROVED simple and unchanging list of rules for the BBQ Brethren Throwdown...

1. The dish must be Grilled or Smoked during the cooking process, or feature Grilled or Smoked ingredients in a prominent manner.
2. Entries must be cooked during the current throwdown period ( 2/19 - 2/28 ).
3. All pics (any number) must be submitted by Midnight Central Time on the night of 2/28.
4. Only one picture from one dish will be used for voting, so please specify which one you want used, otherwise I will choose and my decision will be final.
5. If you have any problems with any of the entries, believing them not to be qualified for any reason, please use the ***VOTE*** thread and exercise your power of voting against those entries. Any complaints posted in any Throwdown thread, or directed to me via any other means will be ignored.
6. By posting your photos, you are granting consent for your photo to be reused for other BBQ Brethren Throwdown related postings or materials.
7. Any joke photos, or photos of past creations you wish to show off must have a disclaimer stating that the photo is not intended to be included in the Vote thread.
8. Only the image from the original post by the person entering the dish will be used in the Vote thread. Any further postings of the same photo by the same person, or by others will not be used.

The voting will begin Monday 3/1 after I submit the "Vote" thread and will run through Friday 3/5. All votes will be public.

Don't forget, you can still enter the Surf and Turf Throwdown until Sunday night 2/21 by midnight Central time.

Our next category will be decided by the winner of the Sandwiches Throwdown!

Best of luck and even better eats to all!

Oh...maybe I'll add a couple chops to my weekend cook!!!

SmokinAussie · 02-19-2010, 03:44 PM

Ooooh Goody. Chops for dinner this week!

Brewmaster · 02-20-2010, 08:49 PM

I guess I will start this off since I picked the category.

This is a Smoked Pork Chop with Cheese Ravioli in a Portabella Cream Sauce and Steamed Broccoli.

I cut these from a whole boneless pork loin and brined them for 3 hours in TQ. Then grilled them at about 300 over pecan wood.

Cheers,
Nate

Nate, there are three winning pictures there! How can you possibly pick just one?
Absolutely gorgeous!

Smokin'Ron · 02-20-2010, 09:33 PM

My Chop Pick...

Wife's homemade taters, Corn on the Cob, Smoked and glazed chop.

bigabyte · 02-20-2010, 10:54 PM

Wow! With these two to start, this could become a legendary Throwdown!

Gore · 02-20-2010, 11:16 PM

Corn on the cob? You're growing corn on the cob in Ohio already?

That looks really nice too.

Had some frozen in husk from a farmers market last summer, just soaked and tossed on the grill. It was as good as the day we got it. Unfortunately, was the last 2 we had.

Wo Wo Wo Whoooooa..

If it's a chop, It's gotta have a BONE... Am I right Farkers, or is this just another cultural misunderstanding???? Anyone?

bigabyte · 02-21-2010, 07:55 AM

This may help.

A chop doesn't have to be bone-in.

I think this is another cultural thing. Twenty years ago, I'd have agreed that a chop needed a bone. I'd also have expected my chicken to have bones too! Now, boneless chops are extremely common and of course there's butterfly chops. One of the exciting things about these throwdowns is to see how people bend the definitions and think outside the box.

Again, everyone has their own definitions. Some will reward you for being creative, others will penalize you. It's all part of the fun and games.

Hey Chris, Thanks for the video. Looks like another case of regional differences. A boneless chop is a steak. We have "butterfly steaks", not butterfly chops etc. Just a "naming" thing.

Cheers!
