For the non-gastronomically nerdy, Berkshire pork is highly valued because it is super marbled (think Wagyu beef). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkshire_%28pig%29
Went to Pied-a-terre and they did a phenomenal job.
Never even considered getting my hands on it, just assumed it'd be too pricey.
So if anybody's got a good source, share the wealth!

Copa Cafe @ Cambie and 23rd supposedly has kurobuta pork chops.
Where's that tonkatsu from?
I try my best to get chicken-katsu instead cause I find most places tend to overcook the pork. But kurobuta would be moist enough to get |
