10 restaurants serving seasonal sweet corn this August.
Harvested at its peak in the late summer months, sweet corn is popping up at farmer’s markets and supermarkets, and some of our favorite chefs are making it a point to work the bright, yellow crowd pleaser into their light and refreshing summer dishes. Here are 10 ways to celebrate sweet corn season. Â
