Lucky for us, we visited in the spring and the weather was still cool and pleasant. Be prepared to do some walking, since the grounds were beautiful but vast.

We visited Middleton Place, which was definitely worth the half day we spent there. There are plenty of restaurants and bars serving all kinds of food, including southern fare at Poogan’s Porch like fried green tomatoes and southern fried chicken. After a few frantic phone calls, we found a room in the Indigo Inn which is perfectly located in the center of town (with convenient parking too boot!).Ĭharleston is a great place to walk around for a day, shop, and eat. On the way to Savannah, we spent a day and a night in Charleston. Serve with greens and iced tea!ĭid You Make This?

Place your fried pork chops on paper towels to drain. Place the pork chops in the oil 2 at a time to fry for about 4 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. Dredge each pork chop with the flour mixture. Make the dredge by combining the flour, pepper (both white pepper and black pepper), and salt in a shallow bowl. Heat the oil in a large cast iron pan to 350 degrees F. The cornstarch should provide some body to the marinating liquid so the flavors stick to the chops. Place pork chops in a bowl, add all of the marinade ingredients ( five spice powder, garlic powder, baking soda, sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, and cornstarch), and mix well. If you want to go Asian all the way, then there is always the Peking Pork Chops or the Cantonese favorite, Salt and Pepper Pork Chops!

Southerners definitely know how to eat! Pork dipped in flour and fried until crispy, served with collard greens and a large spoonful of gooey mac and cheese on the side. Fried pork chops with gravy is a beloved traditional Southern dish, but what if we made something similar with Asian flavors? This has been on my mind ever since we had dinner at The Olde Pink House restaurant in Savannah, the third stop on our road trip (scroll down for photos, and also check out our stay in Annapolis eating crab cakes)!
