Coated the pork chops with bone suckin rub and basted them with bone suckin sauce while grilling on the egg until they reached an IT of 135F.

The grilled romaine was topped with rasberries, mandarin, smoked almonds and chunks of parmesan.  The dressing was a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

    My goodness that is beautiful. You are the king of the grilled romaine! Nice work my friend :)


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    SWMBO prefers traditional ceasar salad and actually asks me to grill her romaine as well...  Grilling it helps develop hidden flavors.  It is super easy and takes just a few minutes.

    I am not a fan of pork chops but they were really good and juicy!  I think that the fact that they were so thick helped...

    @paqman: the last time I saw a decent chop like that, I lived in Iowa.

    Nice looking cook. We are down to 1 heart left out of the 6 pack we picked up last Wednesday and we haven't been home for two days!
    Nice fillet planned for tomorrow night, topped with Scwartz's (thanks again Paq) and some grilled Romaine.

    @Skiddymarker I hope you enjoy it!  I think you said you never tried the beef seasoning before.  This is the only beef seasoning we use.  It is also good in burgers.  The trick with steaks is to season them toward the end of cook or just before the resting period under foil.

    @paqman thanks for the advice, with my Penzey's steak seasoning I learned that other than salt pretty much everything seems to burn off during a reverse sear, unless the indirect portion is done very low - 250 or so. 
    Again, thanks!
