You can take candy from a baby, but you can’t take El Elote Loco or “crazy corn” from Gabe Vazquez. The two-year-old accompanied his mother, Didi, and his siblings to last Friday’s Rexburg Farmer’s Market in the parking lot outside of the tabernacle. Each of them walked around carrying a corncob on a stick, and they weren’t alone.
Market patrons flocked to the El Elote Loco stand from 4-7 p.m. during the three hours that the event was open. The line stretched sometimes a dozen people deep. But the corn was well worth the wait, and at $2 a cob, it makes for a reasonably priced dinner alternative at the market.
Brothers Scott, Andy and Beau Sewell of Teton Valley began their corn-on-the-cob vending business last summer in Driggs. They expanded to reach Rexburg and Idaho Falls events as well, and are now a weekly fixture at the Rexburg Farmer’s Market.
The secret to El Elote Loco? Take a steaming hot cob of corn on a stick and slather it in butter.
Next, coat the cob with a thick layer of Cotija cheese.
Finally, sprinkle the cob with a special chili powder for corn with some serious kick.
Laura, Karen and Dana Johnson of Sugar City visit the market each week. If it was tough taking the corn from Gabe, try wrestling it from one of them.
