They look good Big Guy.

I can see pork hocks being the next big thing in the restaurant trade over here.

What internal temp do you take them to? I'm picturing the beans already.

I normally take my pork hocks to about 165, but it doesn't really matter since they usually end up braised until falling apart anyway (i.e. at least 190 internal) in beans or a stew.

Big Guy: My wife finds that dark black molasses makes a better baked bean than fancy. Have you found a difference?

Kizer: My wife and her crew are Brasilian so it's churrasco, feijoada, and potato salad all the time. Can't say I'm complaining.
