Its gnarly looking and messy to eat.

This Grilled Mexican Corn is the BEST corn I have ever had in my life.

(And I dont say that lightly).

Both of these have now been bumped down not 1, but 2 places.

For the most unexpected reason.

I live in a wonderful area of Sydney, known as the Northern Beaches.

Dozer and friend getting drenched at the beach as usual

However….I wouldnt say the Northern Beaches is great forethnic food.

Yes, Im nuts.)

As a result, I tend to temper my expectations when I dine out locally.

Grilled Corn with Chipotle Adobo Mayo (Restaurant Copycat) - this is the best corn I have ever had in my life. Grilling and stovetop instructions included.

And they do killer margaritas too, which always scores highly in my books.

The stand out was the corn.

It sounds so weird saying that.

Me, the taco fiend, saying that a vegetable dish was the stand out.

It was that good.

So I made it my mission to replicate it at home.

Table with Grilled Mexican Corn and Chipotle Adobo Mayo

The menu describes it as chargrilled corn with chipotle mayo, cheese, lime and smoked spice.

But Im really happy with what I came up with.

I dare to even say that its even better than the restaurants!
