    Did not know that. Whatever they are called, they are a worthy cook and meal which will be repeated.
    Thanks for the heads up, and the kind words.

    I love pork chops. I have a few in the freezer at all times. That said, my wife loves the pork tenderloins.  I use a recipe I found in Fine Cooking - Bourbon-Vanilla pork Chops, but it works just as well with the tenderloin. The grilled peaches are a must. I did a fresh peach salsa the last time and it was just as

    That looks great Ron...Pork chops have been my nemesis until I started experimenting with brines..Now cook them regularly with great success.. Nice looking chop there sir..

    Agreed. Brines are the schnizzle. I always sear then bake. I’ll have to try a reverse sear next time.

    I read you loud and clear. Normally I would, but being the lazy drunk I am, I just did it the other way.
    Next time we will brine like a champ.
    RS was not bad though, I got to tell you.

    Lol, thank you for the kind words. I think everybody else needs to work on the wings...I am confident my wings will be so good and over the top, everybody else will be competing for second place....good luck at getting second. For you all, it will be like winning by having the least beat up POS in a POS contest.

    Sorry Adam, did not intend to torture. The potatoes cooked on the BGE were good though...

    Next, try doing them Sous Vide to ~133 and finish on a hot Egg - just enough to sear them - maybe 1.5minutes/side. Then add some chimichurri.  DANG GOOD!!!

    When I get to a cheat day it will start with biscuits and gravy and end with a loaded smoked potato.

    Thanks for the heads up on the sous vide. I will do exactly that. I bet they are delicious.

    Do them with peach smoke. I did, they were outstanding my brother. Cheat like hell. Biscuits and gravy all day for me, screw the potatoes....
    I admire your discipline. Do it for your family. You are a great dad, and your princess sister in law needs you around to cater for other events.....just fukkin kidding mu friend...just kidding...

    Love me some poke chops and yours look great. Gotta get bone-in too cause the best thing is gnawing on the bone at the end of the meal! Caveman style!
