Where’s the pork? At Perry’s opening Monday

September 19, 2014

Perry’s Restaurants, a Texas-based, family-owned group of steakhouses, is opening its first location in Colorado on Monday in the Vistas at Park Meadows outdoor shopping area.

The 11,000 square-foot restaurant accommodates more than 400 guests. Features include an open concept kitchen, a towering wine wall, an island bar and four private dining rooms for groups and special occasions.

“I admire the vibrant food scene here in Denver,” said Chris Perry, president and owner of Perry’s Restaurant, who attended a recent media preview of the place. “With our famous seven-finger high pork chop, distinctive signature dishes carved table side, shared sides and vegetables, and cocktails made with fresh ingredients from the kitchen, we hope to fit right in and feel at home in Colorado.”

Perry’s, which started as a meat market, is known for its specialty Perry’s Famous Pork Chop, a seven-finger tall chop that is dried, cured and roasted, then caramelized and topped with Perry’s herb-garlic butter. Perry’s is also home to Bar 79, named after the year Perry’s was founded.

Here’s what we sampled during media meet and eat:

* Perry’s pork chop – the impressive chop measuring seven fingers high and carved table side.

* Asian ahi tuna tartare paired with pineapple ginger mojito – Fresh ahi served with crispy wontons, and pineapple ginger mojito made from fresh pineapple and mint, muddled with lime and shaken with Captain Morgan White Rum and a hint of ginger spice.

* Fried asparagus with Perry’s Chardonnay – This pescetarian appetizer is topped with jumbo lump crabmeat and pairs perfectly with the 2012 Private Label Chardonnay. One of two private label wines available at Perry’s, the Chardonnay is aged in French oak barrels.

* House-made Polish sausage with a Breckenridge Manhattan.

* Chateaubriand with a classic side car – Perry’s Chateaubriand is an “off-the-menu” item available upon request, topped with truffle Merlot, béarnaise and roasted peppercorn sauces. Perry’s twist on the classic side car combines Hennessy VS, Grand Marnier and Caravella Limoncello with fresh pressed lemon juice.

Perhaps Perry’s worst-kept secret is the Friday-only lunch where the gigantic pork chop price plummets from $29.95 to $12.95.
