PANKO FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH TEXAS TOAST
I absolutely love the fried pork chop from Bertha's Kitchen in Charleston. If you're ever in my neck of the woods, you've got to go there and try it! This sandwich is inspired by her fried pork chop, with my spin, of course. For that extra crunch, I coat the pork chops in panko breadcrumbs after they've had a dip in some seasoned buttermilk.

Steps:
- Pour the oil to a depth of 1 inch in a large cast-iron skillet with high sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper and set aside. Set up the dredging station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and mustard in a separate shallow dish. Combine the panko and House Seasoning in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge one pork chop in the flour. Dip in the eggs, then in the panko. Place on a wire rack and repeat the process with the remaining pork chops. Fry the pork chops, in batches, until golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 145 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot with the Texas toast.
- Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
TEXAS TWO-STEP PORK CHOPS
From Weber's 'Grill out Times' newsletter. I didn't even change the corny name. Added cayenne pepper the second time around for more heat. Nice, unmessy way to grill chops

CRISPY PORK CHOPS WITH BUTTERED RADISHES
These crisp, panko-crusted cutlets are your weeknight answer to tonkatsu or Milanese with a simplified, one-step breading procedure, no eggs or flour required. Thin pork chops, either bone-in or boneless, are seasoned with salt and pepper, then simply pressed into panko bread crumbs before crisping up in a hot, oiled skillet. While any quick-cooking vegetable could be tossed in the brown butter and spooned over the chops, radishes are especially nice for the way they keep their bite even after a trip to the skillet. Whatever you do, don't forget the lemon.

Steps:
- Season pork with salt and pepper. Place panko in a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish and season it with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, firmly press both sides of each pork chop into the seasoned panko until the chops are evenly and well coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat; it should evenly coat the bottom of the skillet. If it doesn't, add a bit more oil. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook until deeply golden brown, like the color of a well-baked croissant, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Using tongs or a spatula, flip pork and continue to cook until well browned on the other side, too, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate, platter or cutting board lined with paper towel and season with salt.
- Wipe out skillet and return to the stove over medium-high heat. Add butter, letting it sizzle, brown and foam. Add capers and half of the radishes, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Toss a few times, just to wilt the radish greens, if they're still on, and to evenly coat the radishes with the brown butter and capers.
- Divide pork chops among plates and nestle butter-tossed radishes and capers alongside, plus remaining raw radishes. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky salt and serve with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by making a small cut into the thickest part of the meat. The juices should run clear, with no pink.
- To make a flavorful sauce, use a combination of chicken broth, white wine, and Dijon mustard. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
- Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
