Yum Yum: Mexican Grilled Corn, Street-Stall Style

My 4 year old girls can eat an entire cob of corn.  It's unbelievable.  I don't put all the stuff on it for them but they just love corn on the cob.  In the summer, we would grill out after getting in the pool and eat corn outside on the porch.  As for me, I hate biting into corn on the cob because it touches my cheeks.  One of my (many) weird eating perculiarities.

This corn is awesome.
