The Best Pork Chop I Ever Ate

My parents came to town for a visit. Since I am the entertainment committee, I was tasked with finding a place for dinner last night. That place was French Quarter; New Orleans Kitchen in Lombard. That's where I had the best pork chop I've ever had. It was breaded, brined, fried and served with a butter sauce, and came with sweet potatoes mixed with sausage and green beans. As an appetizer, we had fried green tomatoes - in this case covered with remoulade sauce and crab meat. (Yes, it was not my grandmother's fried green tomato.)

This was actually my third visit to New Orleans Kitchen. Previously I'd had their fried chicken (Amish free-range soaked in buttermilk), which was the best fried chicken I'd ever had, and the second visit I'd had the blackened tilapia, which was "merely" excellent. If you find yourself in the western suburbs, try the New Orleans Kitchen.
