[@BlackstoneGriddles]

We appreciate the continued support, Patrick. Have a wonderful day.

[@geraldgrass9311]

I love your recipe for bacon fried corn. My family has been cooking fried corn for at least 5 generations. We always used bacon grease as well as butter and chopped onion. I had never thought of cooking the bacon (with) the corn. We do season with garlic, granulated onion, maybe a bit of thyme, as well as salt and pepper of course. A bit of paprika works well along with just a bit of chipotle to give it a kick. Your own taste will take you where you need to go with the seasoning. Paring the diced bacon with the corn though, that's a marriage made in heaven. Thank you for opening my mind and taking my fried corn to a stratospheric level!

[@IslenoGutierrez]

In south Louisiana, we have our own corn dish called maque choux (mock-shoe). It is corn sautéed in bacon grease, it has the south Louisiana holy trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper), garlic, thyme, peppery spices and finished with a bit of cream. It’s usually a side dish. It can also be made into a main meal you can serve over white rice and if it’s made into a meal it can be made with chicken in it and things like andouille sausage or tasso ham. It can even be a seafood version and have shrimp in it. Some recipes have tomatoes in it while others don’t. It’s unrelated to the corn dishes in Texas, it’s pure south Louisiana.

[@fancifulgamer28]

My dad used your video as a guide to make this recipe and let me tell you, it made me love corn more than I thought it would! So thank you for showing off your grill skills!

[@socalrenegal9409]

Im from the West Coast. We eat elote (on the cob) with mayo, cheese and tajín, and what you’re doing is a take on esquite (off the cob). I’ve never had it with bacon….looks delicious.

I've not ever heard of this but it is close to my mexican street corn...kind of. Your take on this looks delicious 😋. I would suggest a sprinkle of chopped Cilantro at the end for color and taste.

Southwest born and raised here. The stage where the corn is in the molcajete add the crema at that point and mix it in. So most of the corn has a little on there and you don't run out after a few bites. It is great. Don't have crema then add some mayonnaise and that is good too.

[@blanksender7808]

[@praisehisawesomename]

Hi. Make sure you're subscribed to both channels. As I have over 1,000 Blackstone cooking videos between here on the official Blackstone channel and my personal official channel(Todd Toven). You'll see lots and lots and lots of the corn videos. I've used the mayo before but prefer it on the full-cob elote. I didn't like it in the street corn version you see here. I prefer straight crema. I'm glad you enjoy it though. Griddle on!

[@princeaceroyale]

fun fact, crema is what is supposed to be used mayo is used in place of crema in the cob version (elote) because of its consistency so it doesn't run down and fall off while eating and as a binder for the cheese and Chile to stick to the corn.

[@cryptog5543]

Forgive me please!!! The "Cacique Crema Salvadorena" is by far the best flavored crema you should try. The flavor in my opinion is almost 10X better. It's the same brand you're using and it's so much more amazing. It is the Cacique brand but has the blue screw top lid. It may be harder to find but it's worth it!!!

[@fctuber]

Did I just miss it or is there no onion in this? Come on man! Onion goes with everything especially bacon, as in bacon onion jam, and it goes well with corn so it's just a natural that it would go well with this. I would throw it in there between frying the bacon and adding the corn so the onion gets to caramelize a bit before adding the corn. Maybe it's just me but I think a bit of caramelized onion or maybe a bit of chopped green onion (scallions) would take this dish over the top!
