@PerkyMac I agree Duffield's is good but Zimmermans Farm on Salina Road is much better. There is nothing like getting corn still warm from the field to eat a couple hours later. It's so sweet and perfect.

So is Symon still going o be on Iron Chef?

When it's cold out and I'm in a rush, I will pack a can of soup and a bowl. Many soup cans have pop-tops now so you don't even need a can opener. If you choose wisely, a whole can of soup is less than 300 calories.

Some days I pack a mason jar half full of skim milk and my favorite breakfast cereal. Super easy.

Seeds of Change brand makes some really great rice/grain mixes that you pop in the microwave for 90 seconds. I pair this with Quorn patties or some other meatless 'chicken' patty and a few frozen veggies.

Boil in water until crisp but tender. No butter, no salt. It is sweet perfection just the way it is.

I really don't like butter on my corn (greasy and messy)...or salty corn for that matter. Corn was intended to be sweet!

@ Pumpkinbear: It's not just you. I found Irvine's histrionics very entertaining. I don't think he treated people like crap, unlike some other reality-show chefs (ahem). Symon seems like a talented chef and a really pleasant guy, and I'd happily eat anything he prepared. Unfortunately, as a television personality, he leaves me cold.

I dug Michael Symon on the show, although I have to watch it in secret because his giggle drives my partner crazy. A nice change was that it seemed like Symon was having fun, like the whole experience was fun. I never really got that from Irvine's time on the show.

All that's coming up in our area (Indy) are still the repeats! What gives! My tivo is not locating any new ones I even did a manual search.

I love Michael Symon, and I think he is a great replacment for Irvine. He was a pretty good chef, but unlike the previous poster, I didn't like the way he stressed out all the time.... Michael Symon is cool (and funny) under pressure!

I love it grilled with cheese and a little cayenne pepper and chili powder, but since I rarely grill, I boil it--cob on--and like it with just a sprinkling of garlic salt.

Oven-roasted, husks on, then generously apply a compound butter with your fave dried herbs.

@iz at ryt? yes it iz! Unfortunately, we are late bloomers and have to inquire as to origin and vintage of any corn we find locally. At iz ryt. Late summer for us. :o(

@huneybumper ~ I'm a voracious and out-of-the-closet cob sucker. Waste not, want not, want NOW! ;-D

I like to put my lunch together at work, so I might bring the components of a chicken souvlaki (slices or chunks of cooked chicken, pita, tzatziki sauce, lettuce and tomato).

I also like cottage cheese and melba toasts. I mix fresh herbs and pepper into the cc, schmear it on the cracker, and add sliced tomato on top. Sometimes I bring a sidecar of pepperoncini.

A nice home made fruit salad rounds it out.
