I am currently enroute to West Palm Beach. It’s for work, promise. Because I did tell Butters that I would never leave him ever again but duty calls.

So before I “work” and jump into the warm ocean here, let’s talk corn. Mexican street corn, actually.

This is a favorite of mine, even though I’ve never actually been to Mexico nor had their street food.

But I always snag one of these at the local farmers market dousing it in chili powder and cotija.

Because, well, hello. The more the better. But really, this garlicky-lime cream sauce is simply perfection. You can even get rid of the corn altogether and just have a side of the sauce with some chips.

Just a thought, guys.
