HOOKED ON PORK CHOPS
This week’s special at Kahai Street Kitchen, Country Fried Pork Chop ($12.95), features a bone-in, thick-cut pork chop that’s coated with house-made, seasoned flour. It’s fried to a delectable golden brown, smothered with a rich, creamy gravy — which is comprised of Portuguese sausage and bacon — and topped with crispy, spun potatoes. The eatery’s chef, David Yamamoto, says this special runs every once in a while, and customers love it because of the sauce’s savory flavor and creamy-yet-crunchy texture.
