Alex Guarnaschelli The “ICAG”

This is so Fourth of July @newyorkermag @newyorkercartoons @nah_kidd 💥

Did you know there is a kernel for every strand of the straw like "silk" that covers the ear of corn??? My dad used to boil the cobs in water with sugar and salt and we would eat it (red hot!) right out of the pot. A pat of soft butter melting over the kernels, a pinch salt & I am on the nostalgia highway. That said, I also love it grilled. Use salted butter or sub in brown sugar if you like. 6 large ears fresh corn, shucked 1-2 tablespoons sugar (or honey) Kosher salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter * Grill the corn: Preheat the grill. Rub the corn with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the corn on the hottest part of the grill and rotate until charred on all sides, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the grill. * Serve: Sprinkle the corn with the sugar, salt and butter. Do you like charred sweet corn?

July 14th at 9 PM EST, @chefericadjepong & I get the privilege of sharing a brand new season of "Alex Versus America" with you. We hope you will join us on @foodnetwork !

I have frosted a few cakes but @bakedbydan CRUSHES the cake game. Here are some tips I gathered for frosting cakes like a boss 😹😹😹: -Start with chilled cake layers: easier to pick up & stack. Also more sturdy & less crumby... -Make frosting easier to spread by warming a ½ cup of it (microwave) & stirring it back into the larger batch. -Start with a mound of buttercream on center top of cake & gently flatten & spread to cover. -When frosting cake sides, keep plenty of buttercream on your spatula. That way, unwanted crumbs won't mix in with too little frosting as you're spreading. It's like an insurance policy. -That glossy bakery look? EASY! Dip metal spatula in hot water, quickly dry off water & run over the top of cake. If you don't have a "Lazy Susan" spinning cake plate, don't stress it. Frost cake right on its serving plate & wipe the edges clean!

The best endorsement "Supermarket Stakeout" could ever hope for!!!! 5 year-old Emma Petersen's mom @hollys1208 graciously shared her daughter's very own stakeout with me!!! #supermarketstakeout #nextgeneration
