The Country Club of Virginia l Richmond, Va.

“

Almost every element in this dish is from Virginia. It’s simple, clean and easily reproduced. The show is fun, and the flavors are unexpected. The gin-and-tonic cucumbers create a neat mouthfeel, while the trout offers a subtle, sweet flavor.”

TOMAHAWK PORK CHOP

with fontina grits and charred broccolini

Ingredients for pork chop:

4 qts. hot water

1 ½ cup brown sugar

3 Tbsps. kosher salt

½ cup bourbon ½ cup bourbon vinegar or apple cider vinegar

10 ea. 14 to 16-oz., bone-in pork chops, frenched

4 ea. oranges, quartered

20 sprigs thyme

20 ea. garlic cloves

½ cup black peppercorns

Procedure for pork chop:

1. Mix the water, brown sugar, salt, bourbon and vinegar together to create the brine.

2. Place the pork chops in individual vacuum-seal bags.

3. In each bag, place an orange quarter, 2 sprigs of thyme, two garlic cloves and 3 to 4 peppercorns. Pour the brine mixture over the pork until submerged. Vacuum-seal each bag.

4. Set the temperature of the immersion circulator to 135°F.

5. Once the temp is reached, drop the bagged pork chops into the water bath and let cook for three hours. Remove the bags from the water bath and cool rapidly.

6. To serve, remove the pork from the bag and pat dry. Turn the grill on high heat. Drizzle a neutral oil, such as vegetable oil, over the pork, then season with salt and pepper. Sear for 1 minute on high heat until you can see grill marks. Turn the chop 90 degrees to achieve a hatchgrill mark. Flip and repeat on the other side. Place on a sizzle platter and bake in 350°F oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until medium or medium-rare. Serve with fontina grits and charred broccolini (recipes available at recipes.clubandresortchef.com).

“

This is one of the simpler dishes on the menu, but it consistently sells out. Cooking the pork sous vide makes for a quick pickup and an infusion of big flavors.”

Braised dishes are some of my favorite dishes to cook. It takes care and patience to do it properly, and it is hard to beat when executed perfectly. I like to look for new ways to present fundamental cooking methods, and one way to do that is by changing the flavor profile.”

“

This dish has a distinctive flavor profile. It’s firm in texture and sweeter in flavor. I reinvented it based on a recipe from my grandmother, incorporating a crisp, refreshing slaw and sweet potato purée.”

“

This is a whiskey sour with a twist. The drink holds true to its flavor profile, with a little bit of added sweetness and smokiness. The mouthfeel is rounder due to the fat-washing, which is complementary to the tactile quality of the egg white.”
