Rack of Pork

Yesterday I met with retired and on-sabbatical school friends for lunch at Grand Lux Cafe near Roosevelt Field. Yes, they have a large menu and all the items are described nicely...the food, however, does not live up to the hype of either the restaurant or the décor.  The service was lovely though and much appreciated. The best part of lunch, the people we ate with, and talked with and laughed with and caught up with. Let's do it again!

When I got home I started to make dinner.  Rack of pork from Costco.  Lately their bone-in pork chops and their racks of pork have been fantastic.  Firstly, 6 double cut bone-in pork chops were $14 for the pack.  Secondly, the rack of pork with 8-9 ribs was $17.  Can't beat the prices.  The flavor and consistency of the chops were surprisingly flavorful, soft and well trimmed.

I don't have photos of the chops (they were from a few weeks ago) but here are photos of the rack:

The crust on this was crispy (lol) and super flavorful: spicy mustard, horseradish cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.  Roasted at 375 convection for approx 55 minutes until 150 degrees inside. Let sit and then enjoy.
