Pork chops strike a balance between flavor, versatility, and comfort. They’re hearty without being heavy, and for many people, they bring back memories of home-cooked meals. While plenty of restaurant chains offer pork chops, finding one that’s truly juicy and well-cut isn’t always easy. Pork chops are amazing when cooked properly and according to Gabriel LLaurado, butcher, Co-Founder, CMO, CTO Meat N’ Bone, there are four main things to look for when ordering pork chops at a restaurant.
- Thick-cut (1–1½ inches or more) to lock in juices
- Bone-in for deeper flavor and slower, more even cooking
- Well-balanced with fat for richness and moisture
- Cooked carefully and rested to prevent dryness
To find the best spots for worthy pork chops, Eat This, Not That! asked LLaurado to share his top five picks.
