Ah, summer! The sun is shining, the days are long, and there’s a certain magic in the air. And for us, that magic often comes in the form of a golden, buttery, delicious ear of sweet corn. But let’s be real, the best sweet corn isn’t usually found under fluorescent lights in a grocery store.
No, the real connoisseurs know that the truly exceptional stuff is discovered in a much more authentic setting: the back of a beat-up pickup truck on the side of the road or in a parking lot!
Whether you’re cruising through town or venturing out on a road trip, keep your eyes peeled. This is that glorious time of year when local farmers and vendors pop up, their truck beds overflowing with mountains of freshly picked sweet corn. There’s something undeniably charming about pulling over, chatting with the seller, and picking out your perfect ears right there on the spot. It’s a little slice of Americana, and honestly, it just tastes better.
A huge shout-out and a massive thank you to our very own Big Cheese 107.9 listener (and unofficial producer!) Brad, who helped us celebrate this quintessential summer experience. We’ve officially dubbed it “Parking Lot Corn Truck” season, and we couldn’t be more excited!
So, next time you’re out and about, forget the supermarket aisle for a moment. Look for that trusty pickup, that handwritten sign, and that glorious pile of green husks. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.
Enjoy!
