Michael Symon's Father's Day Pork Chop Dinner

Today on Chewed Up, Michael Symon makes a Father's Day worthy dinner that feels impressive without being overly complicated: grilled pork chops topped with a cherry, pecan, and bourbon gastrique. Along the way, he breaks down how to season pork properly, cook it to the right temperature, and build a sauce that balances sweetness, acidity, richness, and texture. It is juicy, a little smoky, a little sweet, and exactly the kind of dish that looks restaurant level but is still very doable at home.
