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.
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.
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.
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!
So heres the new Corn Pecking Order:
1.
My homemade Grilled Mexican Corn with Chipotle Adobo Sauce (i.e.
this recipe….in case it wasnt clear!)
Prevent screen from sleeping
2.Mexicanos (Narrabeen, Sydney) Char Grilled Corn (which I copied)
3.
Momofuku David Changs Corn with Bacon and Miso Butter
4.
Real Mexican Street Corn Elotes (i.e.
Prevent screen from sleeping
the real, real deal Mexican corn).
So heres the recipe for the best Mexican corn ever.
At least, in my humble books.
