Pork Chop Friday Update

Pork Chop, at Its Finest

There isn't much more I can say about Perry's Pork Chop Friday ("PCF") special in downtown Austin.  If you live in Austin and are reading this, you've probably been there.  I used to be a frequent flier, though my love for beef has resulting in my becoming a patron of Lonesome Dove's Prime Rib Friday lunches. 

Every once and a while, I do make it back for the magic of PCF.  Last week we joined a friend (as well as fellow Floyd Real Estate agent) for pork and discovered a delicious new side (or at least, new to me). 

Asparagus at Perry's

I enjoy asparagus roasted or steamed.  It tastes great with a topping of chimichurri (a delightful side at ALC Steaks) or wrapped in bacon (because what doesn't taste great with bacon?).   But, I've never had it as good as I had it at Perry's last week: fried and smothered in lump crab meat.   I highly recommend this as a side to your massive (and value priced) pork chop at PCF.

I looked up the nutritional data on the fried asparagus.  You should not (note the absence of a link).  Instead, have a dish with salmon and non-fried vegetables (e.g. the Caesar with jerk salmon at Zax's is good) on Thursday then on Friday head over to Perry's ready to indulge.
