This recipe takes a chunk of time to make, but it is soooo worth it. IT was perfect - I didn't make any changes to this recipe with the exception of not being able to locate any truffle butter.
I used this as the first course, served before the Walleye with Garlic Wine Sauce featured on the same Cleveland page. My guests were very impressed.

fabulous!The roasted, fresh corn-on-the-cob is key"Why don't you use can corn" my mother in law asked... then when she tasted it, she understood why! Its some work with several different steps but the pay off is worth it!
