Baked pork chops, breaded and delectable, is a preparation not only Southern but traditional: We can remember our own Northern grandmothers serving the exact same thing. Well, not exactly. Many Southern cooks and Northern grandmothers might not have cauliflower mash in their roasting Rolodex, but the cheesy perfection of this veggie delight is a stunner. And my grandmother had never heard of hot honey in her life unless it was a Benny Goodman dance craze, but it elevates every bite of pork in this dish from sublime to earth-shattering. Here's to all our grandmothers, and their pork chops that inspire us.
