Recipes for Father's Day - Fried pork chop sandwich, Food Fidelity
Fried Pork Chops | Food Fidelity
For the Cool and ClassicStraight Shooter – Marwin had an old school "Uncle Slick" who was the master of fried pork chops, and he’d tell you all about it. “A proper fried pork chop ain't supposed to be all pretty and saditty. It's supposed to be a sandwich, hanging off the bread, dripping a little juice on your t-shirt, no knife, no fork.” Those days, it was just old heads leaning on car hoods, talking loud with Maze and Frankie Beverly blasting while munching on golden crispy sandwiches stacked on soft white bread heavy on the hot sauce, and repeatedly asking him, “What you know about this, young blood?!?” He never knew if they were talking about the music, the sandwich, or whatever, but those moments were golden.
