grilled corn
Barbecued yellow ears
Grilled corn is corn on the cob cooked over an open flame or on a grill, charring the kernels and intensifying their sweetness.
A summer staple at barbecues and street vendors, it's often served with butter, salt, or spices: We had grilled corn at the cookout.
Mexican-style grilled corn (elote) comes slathered with mayo, cheese, and chili powder.
