If you travel I-70 'tween St Louis and INDY, in Casey, IL close to the IN State line is Richard's FFamily Restaurant. They have a giant Pork Chop also... braised and with a tomato-based sauce (not Catsup or BBQ). Another Pork Roast hiding in a Pork Chop Label...but good flavor.

Another possibility might be the 2" thick pork chop at Patty's 1880s Settlement. Not as big as the beast at Knock'um Hill, but probably a lot better...

I have to agree with Pete. I think the place lost some of its edge after the fire--not a lot, but something was just not right. And it could be the supplier of the chops, for all we know.

I agree with most folks on here

I enjoyed the chop for what it was- a pork chop- but to put the word "smoked" or "bbq" in the same sentence would be an insult.

I agree with all of the above. The giant chop is edible, and if you are near Clarksville, TN and looking for a novelty lunch, head out to Hearndon,KY just a few miles away. One trip with satisfy your curiosity and cement your own opinion of the place.

Maybe not the best, but I enjoyed my gigantic chop from Knock'em Hill.....for many days!

I thought the chop was pretty good the first time I went, the other offerings not so much. The place burned down a few years ago, and didn't really come back as strong as the original.

Knock'em Hill certainly sounds like the place. In my opinion, this is not worth a drive from anywhere - maybe if you just happened to be driving by. Al reported from our Glee Club meeting last year that the place is just ordinary. They have a great and enthusiastic ownership, but the food is not up to even middling standards of southern barbecue. This was a case where more is not necessarily more.

So, to the original post....yes, one might find the "largest" smoked pork chop here, I wouldn't call it the best. as I have found better in Texas BBQ parlors.

Greetings all:

I heard about a place - small town or perhaps just near a small town in Kentucky where one could get the best (and perhaps largest) pork chope on the planet. For the life of me I can not remember the name of the place or the town. I thought sure that I could turn it up by googling it but have failed thus far. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
