This is an unusual week at food52. Merrill will be in Maine getting married! So -- like last December, when we took a break from our regularly scheduled contests for Amanda & Merrill to face off with their best rice pudding recipes -- we’re running a special contest for Your Best Corn Recipe, with two Brooklyn chefs going head-to-head with theirs. Then you'll all get to vote on your favorite.
The winning chef will take home fame, glory and a snazzy food52 tote bag from L.L. Bean (pictured below), plus a bounty of OXO goodies.
We’ll still be naming Editors’ Picks and -- between now and next Thursday at midnight -- we’re psyched to see your finest corn pudding, corn salad, succotash, corncakes, what have you. Stay tuned for the naming of the chefs!



















Congratulations on your wedding! All the best of wishes to you!!
