Corn Fest 2011
What a great meal!!! Dinner prepared by Chef Keith of Che’ Straka , Gurnee.
Everything was Corn themed, Corn Chowder (sweet and yummy) followed by corn griddle cakes topped with “Crem” (I’m not sure of spelling, but it’s very similar in taste to a combo of sweet and sour creme), then corn pizza (artichokes, goat cheese, spices, and of course corn), next was “Scalloped Corn (like a creamy corn casserole) followed by homemade corn ice cream topped with kettle corn, oh! I forgot to mention the corn/artichoke dip with corn chips appetizers. Truly a “Corn-copia” of culinary delights. All that was missing was “Corn-likker” and plates made from corn husks. Kudos to Keith, can’t wait till next theme surprise.
Glad you liked the party! The topping was “Creme Fraiche” (there are some various ` and ^ that I can’t do in the browser) and is like sour cream but less sour than the american variety.

YUMMY! Best ice cream I ever had in my life; even better than the ice cream from Rowdy Joe’s in STX.
