Grilled Herb Pork Chop

This is my rub for when I want pork chops that actually taste like something. Toasting whole spices and grinding them yourself makes all the difference - it's like the difference between pre-ground pepper and fresh cracked. Takes an extra 5 minutes but your chops go from boring to restaurant-level.
