• Bacon Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, bacon fat, and sugar. Use a Microplane to zest the whole lemon; add zest to the bowl. Add juice from half the lemon to the mayonnaise mixture. Whisk to incorporate and set aside.
• Corn: Preheat grill to medium-high. Toss corn with olive oil and salt; place the ears perpendicular to the grill grates for better char. Close the lid and grill, 2-3 minutes on each side, until there are spots of caramelized kernels, 8-10 minutes total.
• Assembly: Use a pastry brush to paint the bottom of a platter (large enough to hold the corn in an even layer) with a generous layer of Bacon Mayo, about ¼ cup. Place corn onto the platter. Season with a large pinch of salt, then brush the tops and sides with more Bacon Mayo so the corn is coated on all sides. Transfer corn to a serving platter, brush with more Bacon Mayo and another pinch of salt on top. Evenly sprinkle the cheese over the corn and finish with paprika before serving.

CHIPOTLE CORN SALAD WITH GRILLED BACON

Steps:

• Carefully peel back the husks from the corn without detaching them from the bottom. Remove the silk from the corn, fold the husks back around the ears, and soak the ears in water for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Weigh down the ears so they are fully submerged.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Drain the corn, open the husks, and dry the ears with paper towels. Fold the husks back over the corn and grill, turning often, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning 3 times.
• While the corn is grilling, grill the bacon on the other half of the grill until crispy and golden brown and the poblanos and scallions until charred. Remove all items and set aside.
• Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob, finely dice the scallions, seed and dice the poblano, and chop the bacon into bite-size pieces, placing everything in a large bowl. Mix in the bell pepper and onion.
• Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Dress the salad lightly and serve.

GRILLED CORN, BACON AND CHILE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Lightly brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt. Grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred on all sides and the kernels are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and set aside until cool, then cut the kernels off the cobs.
• Drizzle a saute pan with olive oil; add the bacon and bring to medium heat. When the bacon is browned and crispy, add the chiles and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn kernels and toss to combine. Season with salt and stir in the vinegar. Toss in the scallions and remove from the heat.
• Toast the baguette slices on the grill until lightly charred. Remove the toasts and rub with the garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and top with the corn-bacon mixture. Call yourself a superstar!

GRILLED CORN WRAPPED WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat a barbecue or stovetop grill, or alternatively, preheat broiler. In a large bowl cover corn with milk and leave to soak 20 minutes.
• Wrap bacon in a spiral around each ear of corn, lengthwise, stretching bacon to cover corn from tip to bottom; secure bacon at both ends with toothpicks. Place corn on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until corn is tender. Kernels should brown lightly but not blacken. Discard bacon slices before serving.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WRAPPED WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 1 to 2 seconds). Pull back husks completely (do not remove), exposing corn. Discard silk, using a vegetable brush to remove silk completely.
• Wrap 1 strip of bacon around each ear of corn. Pull corn husks back up, covering bacon and corn. Tie open end of husk with kitchen twine.
• Grill corn, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are tender and bacon is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes (husks will blacken). Transfer corn to a large bowl or platter; serve with salt and pepper for seasoning.

GRILLED SALMON WITH BACON AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill (preferably charcoal) for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut kernels from corn ears into a large bowl using a sharp knife held at a 45-degree angle. Scrape cobs with the back of the knife into the bowl to get the juices.
• Stir white and light green parts of green onions into bacon and add red bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables just start to become tender, about 2 minutes. Stir corn into bacon mixture and let corn just warm through. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, a few chopped dark green onion tops, olive oil, and rice vinegar. Turn off heat under relish.
• Spread vegetable oil onto both sides of salmon fillets and season fish with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Cook on preheated grill until fish shows good grill marks, the flesh flakes easily, and fish is still slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. A crack that opens up in the salmon flesh as you cook will let you see how done the salmon is in the middle.
• Divide spinach leaves onto 2 plates and top each with a salmon fillet and half the bacon relish. Sprinkle on a few green onion tops for garnish.
