For those of you who know me, and i mean know me well, Know that i have a deep and abiding love for grilled food. My first little Catering experiment(we wont call it a business) was called "Catering by the Grill".
We tried to specialize in Grilled light food. The only problem was i enjoyed more hearty meals! I have southern roots, what do you people want from me??? So clearly there was a problem. My solution? I started to integrate more grilled veggies into the menu and boy were they a hit!
Among the favorites were Grilled Portobella Shrooms, Grilled then stuffed Bell peppers, We would even do some Grilled stuffed Potatoes. Probably the simplest most requested Grilled vegetable food was the Grilled Corn on the cob. There is something to be said about the taste that the grill gives to the corn. Its like it brings out the sweetness of the corn.
Now, the choice of sauces for the grilled corn are limitless. But just plain off the grill with nothing, not even salt, and you just loved it!!
Its cold outside right now. When i think of Grilled Corn it makes me think of the summertime. But you know what i don't care! Who says you cant have Grilled Corn in the dead of winter?? Who?? I mean after all, this isn't like the same stupid rules that apply to fashion, apply to the culinary world right? You cant wear white on labor day! Get outta here! I'm going home, and I'm going to grill my corn. I don't care how cold it is outside!! I don't care if its six feet of snow out, i am standing up, and i will grill my corn!!
Wait a minute. What the heck am i talking about? its freezing outside right now. I don't even want to brace the cold to go back home from work. Who am i kidding? I do love my grilled corn, but i think i like being warm a little bit more right now. I know, i know, you are probably thinking why doesn't she just use an indoor grill? Well i do have one of those, but as the saying goes, it just ain't the same. Standing outside over a BBQ pit is the last thing i will be doing tonight But a girl can dream cant she???

What can i say? i love grilled corn!!
