The corn on the cob has been terrific this year, emailed Lee Biars who helps run the Diamondback in downtown Ellicott City. They buy produce from the Family Affair stand, including the corn that they're serving as the "veg of the day" with Old Bay butter. "It's about the sweetest corn I've ever had," Lee wrote.
(Update: Wordbones recommends the supersweet corn at the Baugher produce stand in Ellicott City on the Tales of Two Cities blog. Blogger won't let me imbed a link, so copy this: http://writing-the-wrongs.blogspot.com/2010/07/supersweet-vs-silver-queen.html)
Has anyone else made food finds among the produce stands this summer? I wrote before about the Gorman Produce Farm on the Laurel-Columbia line. If you stop by Family Affair, look for their homemade pickles, which I loved but haven't bought in a while.

ReplyDeleteI second the vote for Baugher's in Ellicott City (on New Cut Road, off Rt. 103). Their corn is very fresh and super sweet. They are a very nice family, too.
