Elote (Mexican Street Corn) | Kenji's Cooking Show

This is among the best things you could ever put in your mouth.

2:25 "All the people... who pretend to care more about people's pets than they do themselves are going to come at me..." Say it like it is Kenji.

Watching Kenji become more and more skilled with video editing has been such a journey, I love it.

It made me very happy that Shabu also got sprinkled with cheese!

Beautiful red japanese maple, elotes looks good too Chef. I really love your videos. I've been cooking almost 20 years now and have done everything from catering for Bill Gates private employees to being head chef of a brick oven pizza place in Alabama. Started at the bottom blah, blah, blah.

I just wanted to say your videos have been a huge comfort for me lately. I absolutely hate the place i'm working at now. Trying to stay humble and just learn what i can at this place. Everyday I come home from work though and watch your videos (even if i've already seen em lol) it really brings me back to old jobs I loved and really helps me keep pushin through this tough time.

Really like your style of cooking too, feels a lot like mine. Like when you move certain ways doing things with knives or whatever I get this familiar feeling. It's great. Thank Chef.

Looks absolutely delicious! Seems too simple not to try at home!

This post meal taste test is the best yet. He's utterly Eloted!

[JosephKrony]

At my last restaurant we would fry the cobs to order and bast them in a garlic aoili, sour cream mixture, cotija and a house made blackening seasoning garnished with pickeled sweet chilies and jalapenos

I agree Definitely a top 5 most delicious thing. Tastes great in a cup with the juice from the boiled version too. Cocktel de elote. They shave kernels in a cup add the same ingredients you used basically. I am sure you have tried that too. I live near Mex border in AZ. Love the elote. Love your videos too thank you.

"this is the way that I like to make corn that is the best for me more times than any other type of corn is best." Spoken like a true politician.

Russian River Brewing Company: Kenji’s shouting out our beer, awesome!

Kenji: decent pizza

There's nothing like staring at the tree listening to Kenji much on corn

[clayoppenhuizen]

Looks delicious. Love the wood table you have on the patio!

[juanpaolomonosolegit]

Reminds me of Nacho Libre

GET THAT CORN OUTTA MY FACE!

8:06 "Oh, Man. This is like ... top 5 greatest things you could ever put in your mouth." -Kenji making us all want to make Elote now

[stooge]

Interesting timing on this as I riffed my own Elote last night after threatening for what seemed years. Mixed equal parts full fat Hellmann's mayo and sour cream with lime juice, cumin, ancho chile powder, a pinch of cayenne with some salt and pepper. Let the corn cool a bit after grilling so the "crema" wouldn't slide off, then rolled in finely crumbled feta (no cojita available). The sweet, heat, creamy, salty flavor and textural contrasts were delicious. Mind: blown.

[simmagic]

can't wait to grill some for my family, i'm the foodie in the household (UK) and they're the subjects of my experiments. Unfortunately, the Mexican community here is very small but this looks like a very simple and quick recipe for grilling season. I'm very very interested in actual Mexican regional cuisine but the most we get here is tekmex (even getting masa torillas is difficult) and ordering speciality products is out of my budget. One day tho!

[Chocolatelvr]

The first time I tried Elote was when I went to college in San Luis Obispo at the farmer’s market. It’s my favorite way to eat corn for sure!!

[brianp]

"Garlic optional" why do you have to say such mean and hurtful things?

[ThePdxster]

I recently upped my elote game by using finely minced chipotles in adobo sauce mixed into the mayo. I also switched brands of cotija cheese from Cacique to Nuestro Queso which is a little milder and not so salty. Best ever including any of the restaurants we've had it at.
