Ember-Roasted Corn on the CobJason Lowe

Andrea Reusing, chef at Lantern in Chapel Hill, NC, cooks whole ears of corn in the dying embers of a charcoal fire after the burgers or pork chops have finished cooking.

Keep the husks on to protect the corn, and soak the ears before they hit the embers so the kernels don't dry out.
