Richardson's BBQ, Powderly, KY. Sliced or chopped pork bbq in a big wax paper container. The meat and the sauce were SO awesome. For many years we got it every time we visited my grandparents. All are long gone now -- the grandparents, and the bbq.

turkey for thanksgiving and ham for easter always

first time having bo ssam at momofuku!

Eating a chunk of lechon skin: pork that's been roasted over coals that gives you skin burnished in color, shatteringly crisp with a thin layer of fat. Dip in a sauce of cane vinegar, garlic and chili. Imagine the skin shattering between your teeth, fat melting on your tongue.

Oh.My.God.

It's a tie - between the fabulous Pork Belly they serve at Blackbird's in Chicago - and the whole suckling pig roast at my sister-in-law's farm. YUM!

Day the dog ran off with the pork roast cooling on the kitchen table.

Sunday mornings at the flea market with my BACON, butter and grape jelly sandwich on a soft kaiser roll

Favorite pork memory? The easy answer is the crispy, hickory smoked bacon I had for breakfast yesterday. But one of my favorites is a teriyaki marinated pork tenderloin that I grill several times every summer - a fabulous treat that the entire family enjoys!!!

pork and hairy crab dumplings in shanghai.

I love to slice & boil Jalapeno's & stuff each half slcie with a mini sauage , cream cheese & wrap with a piece of bacon & cook until done.
I can eat these by the dozen!
Not really heart healty ~but I do use lowfat cream cheese.
When in a hurry I use precooked bacon & hold them togather with to pick & boil for 2 minutes.

This is my biggest vice ~but My #1 Pork Meal that I love.

I LOVE pork so this is just one of many fond memories. I was staying in Las Vegas and I got up early one morning to drive to Death Valley. I wanted to have as much time there as possible so I got up very early and the restaurant in my hotel wasn't open yet so I left without eating. After a few hours of driving through the desert I came to a little restaurant/convenience store/gas station/bar & casino and realized I was hungry. I ordered an omelette that had sausage, bacon and ham in it and was asked what kind of toast I'd like with it and she gave me the choice of white, wheat, English muffin or biscuits and sausage gravy. I'm from Chicago so I'd never had biscuits and sausage gravy before but it sounded like it would be a lot more filling than an english muffin so I ordered it. It was one of the bigger mistakes of my life because even though that was many years ago I still make my own biscuits and sausage gravy at home at least a couple of times a month and sometimes I even put some smoked deli bacon in it for extra flavor. Mmmmm . . . PORK!

It was the time when I was a child, and we went to Germany to visit our family. One morning, the butcher came for some pigs; and, at lunch, we had wurst and sausage and pigs' feet.
