The world’s best pork chop.

We headed back down to Windham recently because my husband was craving the world’s best pork chop.

.

.

Christmas decorations were still up.

.

.

And the chickens were still watching me drink.

This cocktail was called Hibernation and was delicious. Simple, fresh… and probably worth spending the winter in a cave.

Vodka, cardamom simple, lime, blackberry puree.

.

.

The husband started with carrot ginger soup and loved it.

Bumbleroot Farm carrots, onion, garlic, ginger, coconut milk, maple syrup, pepitas.

.

.

My next cocktail was a spiced clementine margarita. Ooh la la!.. that was tasty.

Reposado, spiced clementine syrup, lime, Cointreau.

My appetizer of corn and spicy chicken egg rolls were equally as good.

Maine Family Farms chicken, roasted corn, cumin, Monterey jack cheese, chili powder, egg roll wrapper, chipotle aioli, pico-slaw.

.

.

And there it is. Unassuming to view… but this cider brined chop is next level good and perfectly grilled. You’ve never had pork like this, it’s melt in your mouth tender.

Prime center cut chop, French green beans, butternut puree, Ricker Hill Honeycrisp apple, caramelized onion.

.

.

I went with the chicken cordon bleu which was wonderful as well.

Maine Family Farms chicken breast, egg, flour, Bumbleroot Farm spinach, Pineland Farms Swiss cheese, Canadian bacon, cream, parmesan, Waxwing Bakery breadcrumbs.

We’ve come to the realization it’s impossible to have a bad meal at Yolked. Oh, you’ll pay for the privilege… but what’s life without a little splurging?

😊

  1. That’s some fine lookin’ chow there, gotta say. I like pork with fruit, pork roast with a cherry glaze is a favorite. I’ve never considered a cider brine but I am now. If you know the particulars. ingredients, , proportions and time, I would love to know. If not, I’ll ask my best friend Ray the grillmaster paleontologist and smartest person I know. I think he hangs out with me because I’m nice and his wife and kids love me (they mean it), no way it’s because I’m all that smart. Well, all things being relative.

      1. I’ll let you know when I do one. Ray was unfamiliar with the technique but he’s very interested, as am I, so we should come up with something soon.
        Ray does, however, have an understanding of quantum entanglement., probably better than silicone Sally, if you want to know. I told you he was smart.
