Agree on the bone in thighs. Sometimes I'll use leg quarters and go with a salt, pepper and garlic rub. Center cut pork chops are amazing. I prefer thick cuts, but if you buy a whole loin, you can cut them however you want. Just general knowledge I'm throwing out, the USDA 4 or 5 years ago said medium rare pork is safe to eat. I cook my pork chops to 140 and they are juicy and lip-smacking good. Mrs. cip and I had NY strips, baked potatoes and asparagus last night. Outstanding! Lastly, on the plate ribs, we don't have the whole plate, but our short ribs are cut from that. PM me if you want info.
