I used to joke with a BIL that we should open a restaurant that served only chicken and turkey skin. I bet the place would be packed.
After reading this thread I had to look up "Delmonico steak". Ultimately, the Delmonico steak is as much myth as it is a specific cut of steak. If it's a thick, good quality steak from the rib or short loin, you could call it a Delmonico. Delmonico's Restaurant is still in business, and on their menu, the Delmonico steak is a boneless ribeye.
It's been too many years for me to remember it but pork chops have always been my favorite. I was a thumb sucker as a young boy and family used to ask me what it tasted like. I always yelled PORK CHOPS! I still get some crap over that today. Most people over cook chops and don't know how to pick the best one out of the meat counter. I'd never buy chops from Kroger's or a chain store. That's a local butcher stop.
My favorites are thick cut butcher shop Ribeyes, done on my grill. Second are pork ribs done low and slow on my Treager grill. Pretty much anything done on the Treager is fantastic IMO. DID a pork roast last Sunday on the Treager. Came out fantastic. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
You're buying your strips from the wrong place, then. I go rib eye first, 2nd choice is ny strip. Had one last week from Drummonds since it was the only steak in the counter thick enough to suit me, it was grand. Then I followed it up with a rib eye from Frank's(they called it a delmonico, what the?) Also a great steak. Sent from my SM-G970U using Michigan Sportsman mobile app
I recently discovered pork steak. Was at a farmers market and asked for chops. The farmer said he was out of chops but handed me a pork steak and said if I gave that a try I’d never ask him for chops again. He might be right!
Porterhouse steaks are bomb, if you get a good one. For me I want mine cut farther down towards the sirloin where the large side is wider. Hate when they trim them!
To all of you that love ribeye, try a rib cap steak. They're hard to find, but you could always order online. One of the best things ever.
