Presentation School: Serving a bone in cut of meat, to share!

When serving a bone in cut of meat for 2 or more people to share, it's important to make it easy, but still look good.  Presentation is all about the little things that come together to give the impression of something much bigger.

One of my favorite ways to get people excited about the presentation is to serve a bone in cut of meat that has been cut away from the bone and then put back in place.

In the example you can see to the right, I took a bone in pork chop and sliced both sides along the bone to remove the loin and tenderloin cuts.  I then slice the pieces of meat and then line them back up with the bone so that they can be easily picked up by folks at the table with a fork or tongs.


The best part about this trick is that you can serve the cut of meat right on the cutting board, avoiding the need to dirty another serving dish (unless you want to of course).

For this dinner I served it much more homestyle with a storage container full of taco shop guac set alongside the pork on the cutting board.  No need to dirty up a host of serving dishes when it's just Shells and I eating!
