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.

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

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.

I don't think there is anything wrong with people feeling a chop needs a bone. It's up to the voters ultimately. I personally am lenient enough because I have seen "boneless chops" for sale at the store. It's a personal call ultimately, but you may want to consider being lenient if you feel it is not a chop because people can go to the store, ask for a chop from the butcher, and very well possibly wind up walking away with a boneless chop (at least here in the States anyway).

Funny thing is, there is no distinction in beef for a steak with bone, and one without (ribeye for example). It's just a steak either way. That's probably why the boneless pork ones are still called chops, because that is what people are used to calling them. Nobody has ever called a beef ribeye steak with bone a "chop" (at least not that I've heard). It may also be a way to keep people from confusing pork shoulder blade steaks from "chops", by naming anything sliced off the loin a "Chop". Then again...I think I saw some Blade Chops for sale once...

Ugh, my head is spinning now:confused:

I was told that, technically, a steak is without a bone, a chop is with a bone for beef, pork or lamb. I don't care really, as nobody else knows what it all means. Just like I was told a rib steak is a boneless cut, the rib chop is bone-in and a ribeye is the eye of the rib steak, minus the undesirable fatty flap. I thought, who the heck considers the fatty flap of meat undesirable?

That's nice Chris, but you know, if they said that "it tastes just like real bacon," I would've laughed. If they said it tastes good, I could believe that, afterall, I like eggplant. However, they conclude saying, it has "interesting flavor and texture. Eggplant bacon is [a] healthy and interesting garnish to add to your raw pantry!"

Now the very last thing I want anybody to say about my food is that it has "interesting flavor and texture." Heck, even my kids know that when I tell them to eat it because it is "healthy and interesting," it means they better hope the dessert will take the flavor out of their mouths! :icon_sick

I think it is safe to say, "Everybody, stand back! That link is RADIOACTIVE! :shock:

We interrupt this thread to bring you a special installment of "Cooking with the Master." And now, here ... is the Master!

Master: Ladies, Gentlemen, Gooood Eevening! And welcome to "Cooking with the Master," a show about cooking. I ... am the Master! I am here with my sous-chef Gore to discuss the preparation and cooking of the pork chop. A little background: In a widespread conspiracy, pork producers altered their product, making it leaner and tougher ... like that of shoes, though with slightly less flavor. When I played with my junior chemistry set I remember dining on succulent pork like this:

http://mybbq.net/forum/userpix/57_iberico_005_Small_1.jpg

Master: Alas, that time is almost forgotten. Our colleague Don Marco had to travel thousands of miles to obtain this specimen. Like the poultry suppliers who learned to breed and sell the boneless chicken, pork manufacturers now do the same, selling boneless pork nuggets. One example of these dry tasteless nuggets is shown here:

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc150/bigabyte/Pork_Chops/med_ChopServed.jpg

Master: Gore! Stop salivating on the video equipment.

I (Gore): Sorry Master, I suddenly became very hungry. I will try to eat an extra lunch tomorrow.

Master: To continue, I will explain how to make such pucks palatable. I know there exists controversy to use bone in or bone out. The bones contain the most flavorful meat and it is essential to include the bone to make the chop. However, I have developed a revolutionary technique to infuse this flavor throughout the entire chop and not within just one small bite. The method requires that these bones be removed. Gore, have the bones been removed from the loin?

I (Gore): Yes, Master.

Master: Gore have the bones been seasoned and cooked?

I (Gore): Here are the pictures, Master.

http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt211/gvideen/pork%20chop/IMG_4932.jpg

Master: As you can see, while those rubbed and sauced are still waiting for the sauce to thicken, the one with the Korean Kalbi marinade is being pulled:

http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt211/gvideen/pork%20chop/IMG_4936.jpg

Master: Gore, have the nuggets been prepared?

I (Gore): They have my Master.

Master: Gore, have you prepared the stuffing with the vital ingredient, a chocolate stout!

I (Gore): I have Master!

http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt211/gvideen/pork%20chop/IMG_4944.jpg

Master: Gore have the bones been prepared to turn these tasteless nuggets back into chops?

I (Gore): They have, Master.

Master: Gore, demonstrate to the audience how to stuff the loins with the bones and sausage, thus creating a new hybrid pork chop!

I (Gore): Certainly, Master!

http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt211/gvideen/pork%20chop/IMG_4945.jpg

Master: As a fait accompli, demonstrate the bacon weave to keep the stuffing tidy, and show the audience the chops after they have been both smoked and finally grilled. The bacon and sausage keep the chop moist and the bone puts the flavor in the heart of the chop where it can disperse throughout the meat. It is a triumph of BBQ Science!

I (Gore): Yes, Master.

Master: I would have thought that a healthy serving should have satisfied the hungriest laboratory assistants.

I (Gore): Sorry Master.

At this point our filming was interrupted by black helicopters circling outside. While men in dark uniforms descended on nylon ropes, I dove into an ash-bucket. I am afraid Master was not so lucky. While they led him away, I caught a glimpse of "Hormel" on one of the uniforms. While the video equipment was destroyed I managed to save the soundtrack from which I was able to reproduce these notes and retrieved my camera at the bottom of the ashbucket.

Master's whereabouts is still unknown, so perhaps we can swap pieces ... for scientific purposes, of course. :rolleyes:

Thanks Big Brother! Master has not experimented with Lipitor. From previous research he came to the conclusion the flavor-profile is too chemical for what he is trying to achieve. Would you use this as a rub, a brine or an injection?

Well, I was thinking a rack of pork with a chop cut out but couldn't find those so I settled for a stuffed combination.

Stuffed pork chop, stuffed mushrooms and twice baked potatoes.

Mrs. High Q and I had planned to stop by the store and pick up a proper bone-in chop for this weekend's throwdown. As things go in a house with four kids, the weekend came and went and no chops. We had some very unremarkable boneless chops in the fridge so I thought I would give a family favorite a try for the throwdown.

I seasoned up the chops with my favorite rib rub

I put on a good coating of Tabasco Pepper Jelly

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n228/sipes2/DSC_0617.jpg

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n228/sipes2/DSC_0620.jpg

Seared them quickly on a two level fire

Mrs. High Q likes hers with an egg and some cheese

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n228/sipes2/DSC_0638.jpg

The boys like a double chop biscuit with a little extra Tabasco Jelly

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n228/sipes2/DSC_0640.jpg

I like mine stacked high with cheese and more jelly too. (Chris - this is my entry photo)

The boys wanted seconds and went for the all meat biscuit exploder

Enjoy the throwdown!

Awe man, my chop has hair in it! Where's the grill marks or the smoke ring?

I knew I shouldn't have shaved and I should have read the contest post better. Think I could grow my chops back in an hour?

I hate when ringers step in to these throw downs!!

(all in good jest, I'd say those chops are sexy, but I don't want to sleep on the couch tonight)
