Have made this corn a few times a few different ways! Still haven't found the cheese but it is great without it! Hoping to... find the right cheese today!Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The garlic butter, lime and cheese make for a delicious topping for the grilled corn. I had never heard of cotija cheese but... found it easily at Whole Foods and it is tasty and easy to work with. Will definitely be making this again as unique way to enjoy corn on the cob. The cheese falls off so have to take a bite of corn and then use spoon to pick up some of the cheese from the plate so it is a bit awkward to eat but so tasty it is worth it.Read more

Wow...this is a keeper
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is absolutely the most amazing corn on the cob we've ever tasted. First bite, and we were groaning. You'll never make... corn another way after trying this method. We had a hard time keeping the cheese on, but even without it, this is fabulous! Thanks for another winner, Bobby.Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the best corn on the cob ever! I found the cotija cheese at Safeway in the gourmet cheese case. I also tied string... around the husks to help hold them together and soaked them for the 30 minutes. Left them on during grilling and had no problem. I don't like heat so left out the habanero and the butter turned out just fine. Wonderful. Give it a try! Having a command performance tonight.Read more
