All too often, pork chops are better in theory than in practice. Oversized slabs of overcooked pork can get to be a grind on my molars after just a few bites. Pork chops are frequently one-note (or worse), but that doesn’t have to be the case. Thankfully, Chef Jonathan Whitener takes more pride in sourcing (and cooking) pork chops at Here’s Looking At You, the eclectic Koreatown restaurant he runs with front of house partner Lien Ta.

Heritage Pork Chop ($46) won’t always be on the menu at Here’s Looking At You. After all, heritage pork takes longer to raise and is harder to come by. Here’s Looking At You also has a fluid menu since they’re constantly creating. Luckily, I was able to time my visit with beautiful rosy slices and succulent rib meat. The pork lay out like a fan in a bowl with beer yeast tonkotsu broth, meaty king oyster mushrooms, and purple cabbage. The pork itself is fat-rimmed, but still nice and meaty. Each pork chop reaches peak potential on the Here’s Looking At You grill that feeds on stonefruit and hickory wood.
