Two Foodie Brothers

Up to now, I’ve tried to avoid “food politics” pieces on the site because I tend to think those debates get very overheated quickly, and I really try and avoid the comments on this site to become the kind of cesspool of invective and not very clever insults that my soccer blog often had. But [...]

Who doesn’t like corn on the cob? Seriously, ignore the cliche for a moment. Who doesn’t like the stuff? (Okay, teenagers with braces don’t count.
