Grilled corn on the cob has been a beloved summer staple for generations. This classic dish has its roots in the heartland of America, where corn is a cherished crop. The smoky, charred flavor of grilled corn pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of the kernels. Chefs across the country have put their own spin on this timeless recipe, from street vendors in Mexico slathering the corn with mayonnaise, cheese, and chili powder to upscale restaurants in the American South serving it with a drizzle of honey butter. For the best version of this dish, head to the Midwest during the peak of corn season, where you'll find the freshest and most flavorful ears of corn. The key to perfect grilled corn lies in selecting the freshest corn and grilling it just long enough to achieve a slight char without drying it out. Whether you're enjoying it at a backyard barbecue or a gourmet restaurant, grilled corn on the cob is a simple yet irresistible dish that captures the essence of summer.
