Corn on the Cob

In big time corn-producing states like Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Nebraska, grilling an ear of corn in the husk and then slathering the peeled cob with butter and a bit of salt is the epitome of summer. The crunch and a mix of sweet and savory are a welcome departure from some of the more fattening and sugary items to be had at state fairs. Go easy on the butter and you can even call it healthy.
