Have been busy lately which is a good thing. For the next several weeks I am booked at least 4 and sometimes 6 nights a week. Good to be busy though and it's all good stuff. Anyway as most Albertan's know that August is when Taber corn is ready. This comes from a small town. The corn is only sold by certified vendors at farmers markets or roadside stands. It is so popular that some people make false signs or steal the real Taber corn signs to sell their own inferior corn.

Not sure what makes this corn so good , but good it is. Charlie it may not be Lobster but I'll tell ya what , throw in some Alberta lean ground beef to make homemade hamburgers and this is a summer treat for sure.

Man that looks good, I've never bbq'd my corn with husk on, I 'm going to give it a try.

First time for me as well Bob it was delicious Soaked them in water for about an hour before hand (made sure they were submerged completely) 10 - 15 minutes on the BBQ turning occasionally I was impressed (if I do say so myself).

That's exactly how I grill my corn on the cob....and yes, it IS very good. I think it would pair nicely with a lobster and some red wine.... (naturally, in a red solo cup )

Hi Dave.My wife saw this on you tube and it works fabulous.No muss-no fuss.Don't peel back the tassel ends and do it just like the video shows.It takes 4 minutes for one ear and my wife likes to turn it over after 2 minutes but it may not be necessary.After it cooks just cut off the thick end 1 or 2 inches back and shake the tassel end and a clean cooked ear falls out and it is perfect.I'm a believer.Try an ear and let me know how you like it.--charliezap

Never heard of that corn Dave but would be willing to try it if you would care to share!!!!!!! I do, however, remember Alberta beef and you hit the nail on the head with the description of it. I am so hungry.

Thanks Charlie - one of the girls on our Slo-Pitch team mentioned this as well. I did try the microwave method and yes indeed the husks come off as advertiesed this is a great method for a quick fix. I do prefer the taste on the BBQ (the peeling of the husks works just as well with that method). Thanks for the tip.

Thanks Susan no big secret I goggled it ha! I soaked the ears (make sure they are completley submerged) in water for about an hour, then on the BBQ for 10 or 15 minutes , turning them every so often.
