Grilled corn on the cob! One of the best vegetables there is to put on the grill. Some people like to brush it thick with butter, and possibly a rub also, but my standard trick is to always cook it with the husk on. Whether you grill direct or indirect, this always produces the most moist corn. Here’s how!

Wine braised ox cheeks

Red wine braised ox cheeks

This is a real hearty recipe. A long cook where the incredible flavor of the ox cheeks get to play first fiddle.
