Grilled Carlton Farms Porterhouse Pork Chops

By Chef Rick Gencarelli of Lardo and Grassa

The king of all chops! A porterhouse pork chop is a bone-in pork chop with the pork loin on one side of the T-bone and the pork tenderloin on the other. While this recipes calls for four chops, you will be eating leftovers for days from these meaty gems.
