The Best Thing You Ever Ate . . .

[solobaric]

My wife and I went to an extremely fancy restaurant for our anniversary a few years ago in St. Louis. I'm talking suit and tie fancy, lol. I really wasn't expecting the food to be that great, just overpriced. I saw something interesting on the menu. It was a caramel apple porkchop. It was over 2 inches thick and is the still the best thing I've ever eaten to this day. Every bite was both savory and sweet. I would drive to St Louis again just for that porkchop.

Can you describe how it was put together?  Would like to try and duplicate it somehow.

Well, I won't do it justice but it didn't have any actual apples on it like other porkchop and apple dishes I've seen so it had to have been marinated/cooked in an apple juice or reduction. The caramel flavor came from a glaze of some sort. My wife and I swore it tasted just like a Wethers caramel candy. Almost like they melted some werthers in the kitchen and drizzled it over the porkchop. The meat itself had a strong hickory smoked flavor. It was all pretty intense together.
