Summer isn’t complete without overeating lots of perfectly grilled sweet corn. Well, luckily here in the Midwest, we love our sweet corn and we do it really well!
Grilling the corn with the husk on helps them to steam inside instead of burning or drying out on the grill. Serve them up with lots of butter and salt or whip up an herb butter, a simple way to make even the most boring corn taste amazing!
