I love the food trend of fancying up tried-and-true favorites. One can now order an omelet stuffed with kimchi and goat cheese, or a cheeseburger stacked with grilled pineapple and Sriracha-soy mayo. And who knew there were so many flavors of grilled corn on the cob?
Gone are the days of corn rubbed simply in salt and butter. This season, gourmands are taking the summer-staple to the next level by adding any number of unique ingredients. Here is an easy list of one-ingredient topping ideas to make corn so surprisingly delicious, it’s cause for celebration.
