Buy the jumbo not the skinny ones. Nathan's Jumbos are great. I bought the BOGO as well. I will only eat Nathans or Hebrew National these days. The Oscar Meyer, Ball Park, and such have gone down in quality so badly that they are horrible.

Had a craving for some simple hotdogs. Toasted bun, mustard, slaw and jalapeños. Wife grabbed some nathans that were bogo yesterday, I had to put 2 on each bun. They have even shrunk the weenies for god sake. We did chili dogs on the grill earlier this week and they hit the spot. I wanted to char up a jalapeno to go on them, but we didn't have any.

Until the mountain corn comes in, I try to buy from local fruit/veggie stands where the proprietor goes to the area farmers market every morning or so. Atlanta has a huge farmers market that local shop owners visit very day or so.
I won't buy corn that hasn't been kept cold or cool or that has already been shucked . I also look for corn from earlier strains of Silver Queen. Seems like the later strains are all sweetness with little corn flavor.

I bought the 5 for $2 corn. 4 for $5 is some expensive corn.

yea it was. I honestly thought It would be worth it. White sweet corn is my favorite. This wasn't what i expected.
I think it's a bit to early in the season.
If i remember correctly the saying was (don't buy if it's not knee high by the 4th of July) or something like that

ferris, I hope you are not at one of those fancy parties, like a “wine tasting “ where you have to chew it a little. Then spit it in a bucket. LOL That looks GOOD!

At the American Legion with God fearing veterans on karaoke night. Will have a meat pizza and listen to half slick heros sing like their heroes. The butts are for next week in the mountains. Got 6 grandkids up for the 4th and their parents. The cabin will be full.
