'Waiter Rant': The Giveaway
On a trip to mainland China, late 80's, while sitting down for a lunch with my local friends, the waiter asked me for my drink order (this was translated to me by my friend). Not thinking about it I requested a coke.
The waiter hurried away and soon after, my friend ordered our lunch.
My friend's drink was served as well as our lunch.
Afraid of being rude, I didn't say anything about my drink and just went on with my meal ... with great thirst.
Midway through our meal the first waiter who took our drink order arrived out of breath, really sweaty - and holding my can of coke.
He presented it to me with a smile and went on to his other duties.
I couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
My friend let me know that the waiter had to run (probably by foot) to more than a few places to find me my silly coke as it wasn't readily available where we were. I really did feel bad - I would have been fine with another option that was easier. But I was reassured that this was in fact the waiter's pleasure. What an example of great service!

I too am from a small northwest town in Ohio and grew up eating my fair share of sweet corn.
This recipe sounds great and I can't wait to try it.
Thanks for sharing!
