I got off work kinda early today, so I decided to stop by Cardiff Seaside Market and grab some groceries for dinner. Tri-Tip is my usual go-to from this place, but wanted something different tonight. I settled on a couple bone-in pork chops. These were marinaded in a honey bourbon sauce and looked delicious. The two chops were 1lb++ each, so easily enough for the four of us. I also grabbed some red potatoes and parsley. I already had some fresh, sweet, white corn.
I rolled the potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper and Weber's herb and garlic rub.

I roasted the potatoes, indirect, for about an hour, removed from grill and loosely wrapped in foil. I placed them directly next to the hot kettle to stay warm.
I then threw on the chops and a portobello mushroom.

I did a reverse sear on the chops and just guestimated the cook time. I put the potatoes back on for a few minutes, just to get them back up to temp.

Here is my plate, ready to go!

I cheated and just boiled the corn, as I didn't want to try and cram it all on the grill. I drizzled melted butter on the potatoes and garnished with fresh parsley. After I took that last pic, I sliced up the chop and shared it. My wife said it was a bit too sweet, but she didn't leave any leftovers lol.
Those are some of the biggest chops Ive seen. Roughly how long did they end up going for?
Great plate, J.

+1! Looks like a big bone in ribeye. I think those potatoes look great too. More on the honey bourbon please?

I'd say about 35-40 minutes, with only 4-5 minutes of high heat searing. It was probably close to 400* inside the kettle, with the lid on, for the indirect part.

Although the chops were tasty, the honey bourbon marinade was a bit too sweet for my liking. They had a flavor similar to those maple flavored breakfast sausages.
Those look really good, but you can never go wrong with Cardiff Crack.
