It is all in how it is cooked. A thick, juicy pork chop can be as good as a steak IMO. TOo often they are dry and bland though.

When I go to a steakhouse, if there's a pork chop on the menu I will often order it. I make killer steaks at home. I do not make killer pork chops.

one thing I never crave is a pork chop. it can be done, I'll eat it, but I never want one * - By Nikos September 17, 2026 at 02:57:20 PM
- As noted below - pork chops on the bench for me until adults are in charge of our food supply again. Mark my words - trichinosis will make a comeback, just like screw worm** - By xcheck September 17, 2026 at 03:40:51 PM
- pork shank > pork chop > pork tenderloin (wife loves tenderloin, I find it constantly meh to not good at all). * - By plug September 17, 2026 at 03:23:55 PM
  - Agree down the line. Also, tenderloins gnereally -- pork, beef, venison -- have a texture that I don't care for.* - By Alpo September 17, 2026 at 03:39:09 PM
  - Do you marinade the tenderloin at all?* - By tem September 17, 2026 at 03:35:35 PM
    - Yes, like Alpo the texture isn’t pleasing to me. Pork chop OTOH has a perfect texture when cooked properly. * - By plug September 17, 2026 at 04:29:17 PM
- I don’t think that I’ve ever ordered a pork chop as an adult * - By crumbs September 17, 2026 at 03:16:40 PM
  - You still have time.* - By Alpo September 17, 2026 at 03:21:03 PM
    - You don't know that.* - By jjwalker September 17, 2026 at 03:24:04 PM
- Yeah. They can be good and even delicious, but I'd rather have some other delicious entree.* - By jjwalker September 17, 2026 at 03:15:57 PM
- Would you have three pork chops a day for the next year in exchange for a Michigan home playoff game this season?* - By LS&Play September 17, 2026 at 03:14:19 PM
  - yes * - By Nikos September 17, 2026 at 03:46:15 PM
- Pork chops were ruined for many, many years by incorrect guidance about food safety/cook temperature. - By WestSideBlue September 17, 2026 at 03:08:44 PM

  - My mom could bake like a french pastry chef, but I think what you describe was her go-to technique for cooking anything else * - By Spirit September 17, 2026 at 03:11:27 PM
    - Same. She was a wizard with baking, really good home made pies, elite breakfast (her french toast in particular) but my god she could over cook a hunk of meat* - By Daytripper September 17, 2026 at 03:19:44 PM
- Thick cut, dry brine overnight. Crazy juicy, honestly just as good as a steak.* - By WOK September 17, 2026 at 03:05:22 PM
- There's a restaurant here in Atlanta that makes an amazing one that I do think about from time to time, but in general, I agree. (nfm) - By WolvBlue September 17, 2026 at 03:04:14 PM

- Perry’s Steakhouse here has a great chop………. - By MasterBates September 17, 2026 at 03:02:29 PM
  - that does look good. that doesn't even look like a pork chop to me. * - By Nikos September 17, 2026 at 03:02:54 PM

  - Have you tried them in that air fryer you have? I use this recipe - By tem September 17, 2026 at 03:10:09 PM
    - Yes. Bread them up and they're pretty good. Better than baking, for sure.* - By Alpo September 17, 2026 at 03:21:48 PM
    - I’ve been buying these at Harris Teeter - By tem September 17, 2026 at 03:17:47 PM
      - butterflied, yes?* - By ajs September 17, 2026 at 03:28:21 PM
        
        Nope. They are about an inch and a half thick. I do the air fryer method - By tem September 17, 2026 at 03:38:34 PM
  - if xcheck is cooking it be prepared for dry* - By ajs September 17, 2026 at 03:02:21 PM
    - Noted. Forewarned is forearmed.* - By Alpo September 17, 2026 at 03:19:03 PM
- I'm the same way. Love other pork such as pulled pork, baby backs, ham, bacon, pork tenderloin, etc. though* - By ajs September 17, 2026 at 02:59:23 PM
