An incredible pork tomahawk that our best supplier found for us to share with you. This is the Duroc breed from Compart Family Farms in Minnesota. Duroc is a proverbial dip in the pool of heritage breed pork. The pigs are red in color and the meat is a beautiful, almost fuchsia rich pink. Duroc pork is known for its incredible juiciness and rich flavor. We grill this chop and then finish it oven roasted with herb butter, tender asparagus and home-made corn cake.
