Less chine bone is good.lol...i normally would not throw those on but the kids don't like the marbling on t- bones so they get those. I noticed the bones were a bit small on these but it was these or some very lethargic looking porterhouses at the store and these looked way better
The chine bone is basically the top of the "T" on the T bone, this is the backbone of the animal.
Usually on a shortloin, which tbones and porters come off of, the chine bone is left on rather thick.
Usually there is a pit between the bones up to an inch or so deep. Removing the chine bone is bad for the business, but good for you.
Haha, it could also be removed because it was discolored. Bones have a tendency to turn black or green, even within a day of them being cut. The best method is to remove it, if you want to make a sale on the cut.
