Sorry I know it's suppose to be restaurant recipes, but this is my own personal secret I am sharing this time.

Tip on best corn on cob selecting :

If possible rather than purchasing the pre- cleaned corn packed by stores, select the ears yourself, one they are cheaper and second you have better pieces to choose from.

Best way to see if corn is sweet, pull husk down on one side if ear, look to see the rows of kernels are in a straight line. The straighter the row better the taste, 2nd trick to best selection is if corn is Sweet corn, look for more white kernels again the straighter the row,the sweeter the corn.

DO NOT REMOVE HUSKS FROM CORN!!!!!!

They play critical part in cooking corn.

When your ready to prepare corn, pull husks down, again do not remove them. Pull as far down on cob as possible to expose as much as cob as possible, some husks will fall off that's ok. Next is to remove the silk. Trick is to pull the exposed silk at top of corn off before you pull husks down. This gets a good portion of the silk. Run corn cob under cool water and gently rub excess silk of corn, at same time soak the husks under running water or let sit and soak for 10 minutes in cold water. Once silk and corn has been cleaned, pat the corn cob dry with paper towel, next take butter or butter substitute, and rub entire corn cob with it get even coating all over, next sprinkle granulated sugar, or sugar substitute over corn cob and rub to cover corn cob completely. Next pull husks back to cover corn cob try to keep corn covered as much as possible with wet husks. Next wrap each individual corn into aluminum foil tightly, here's where it gets good. .. for those fortune enough to have the use of a grill get to enjoy some kick ass corn on cob, not to say those who aren't, are not.. same can be done in oven too. Just prefer to grill them. So what your going to do next is fire up your grill or oven to highest temperature. Place each individual ears on grill or oven rack, and rotate occasionally, cook corn for 20-30 minutes. Once corn is done let sit in foil wrap for 2 minutes before unwrapping,once foil is removed pull husks down, you can use the husks and stem of husk as a easy to use handle to eat your corn. What this does is helps cook the corn with steam,the sugar acts as a caramelize and enhances the corns sweetness, apply more butter and salt if desired and enjoy.

I have been told time after time this is the hands down best corn on cob ever eaten. Corn is tricky may say sweet corn, key to corn, the lighter the kernel color, the sweeter and more tender the corn as well as the rows being as straight as possible. .. good luck & enjoy!
