Event Details



King Corn
Corn "sugar" and its many delicious friends
 
And a very good Fall to you:

We invite you to consider this extremely improbable verse from Proverbs 11:26: “He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.” Indeed friends, we want to be blessed upon our heads, so we sellest to you the greatest food product America has ever created.

With these events we will explore all the ways corn tastes, looks, feels, and digests in all of its unique and diverse forms utilizing all the tools available to the modern American cook. We will fill you so full of corn: fresh, frozen, dried, grounded, powdered, fermented, hydro-plasticized, and syruped, such that you will tremble at the world brought to you at the hands of modern agronomy, but leaving you feeling completely satiated and thrilled to be alive and to revel in the deliciousness that is CORN.   


As always these events are not only for professional chefs or foodies; they are for anyone who loves food, regardless of culinary knowledge or experience. We produce these evenings to create a communal environment of social interaction, education and fun.
