Grilled Corn with Bacon and La Tur by Chef JJ Johnson
This cheese and bacon covered corn is the ultimate summer barbecue staple! Chef JJ Johnson, founder of NYC restaurant FieldTrip, has put a twist on the classic grilled corn recipe by adding a savory step. For this dish, he utilizes Benton’s Smoked Bacon, a crispy and mouthwatering selection that adds a touch of rich smokiness to the sweetness of the corn, which is easily complemented by the buttery creaminess of the La Tur cheese. Not unlike traditional Mexican elotes, this cheesy, bacon-coated corn is ideal as an on-the-go picnic snack or a main course.
