Pork Chops

[ssv3]

Now this is what I call a pork chop

Walked into a new neighborhood butcher shop and saw a 10 bone Berkshire pork rack. At $16/lb I brought the whole thing home and vac packed six of them

And left four out for dinner

Skewered up and on they went on my open face pit with hot mesquite fire

About 145 and rested for a few mins before slicing

Just like a good piece of ribeye

Obviously night and day difference between commodity. I don't think I can eat regular chops again. :shocked: Thanks for looking!

Dayum neighbor - Those look fantastic! I have a Duroc at the butcher now and hope it is close to that good.

Love the butcher paper!

Holy prime pork tomahawks, Batman! I'm speechless...just freaking amazing, Sako! No doubt hard to go back to regular chops after those beauties.

Can you send a whole one my way, please?

Thanks brotha! The marbling is insane and the fat literally melts when you press your finger against it in it's raw form. It's that soft. :shocked:

I asked the guy if he'll be carrying it regularly and he said yes. :clap2: He's also got Berkshire baby backs and Sakura belly which I both tried. Excellent stuff and he's reasonably priced.

Killer chops! What is the name of said butcher shop and where?

Fantastic! One of my favorite meals but never tried over straight Mesquite. what did you think about that?

I've been getting rib chops from a local farm that raises mangalitsa / red wattle hybrids for $12/lb and they are excellent as well.

Quite a ways from but if you happen to cruise through Sunland it's called Meat Guys.

I have an open face pit that I do a lot of kabobs using skewers and had it fired up for some chicken and pork belly so I just skewered the chops too instead of putting the grate on it. Mesquite works great since it burns hot, long and packs a punch compared to other hardwood especially on an open face pit that loses heat a lot faster.

It doesn't overwhelm with smoke flavor either because I use it for grilling only. I do lamb chops, baby back ribs, wings, chicken you name it and it's done in 20 mins tops.

That's how you do fine pork chops! I can't wait to see what you do to the others. If you top this cook, you will have me twice as envious.

Totally agree on the quality of pork. I like to go to a local shop here as well, they raise their own pork and you can tell the difference. Few pics from a while back when I walked in like you and saw some bone-in rib loin chops.
