Hit Rudy's for lunch today. Me and Mrs. Hillin made short work of it.

It is. I stopped for some in Waco on our way down to San Antonio last night. The better half loves that stuff.

I know I'm old fashioned, but I love seeing Q served up on paper like that.:mrgreen:

Rudy's Cream Corn is a LEGEND!
Wish we could duplicate it.

A trip or two ago to Austin, Mrs Kapn went to Rudy's and brought back---only the cream corn.:lol:
We were doing steaks on the grill.

Good Chit, Maynard.

Well maybe Ty will get in on this too since he just had some, I'm trying to fine tune my Rudy's inspired cream corn. Here is what I have so far, but the last time I went to Texas was 3 years ago. How about trying a batch and letting me know what changes are in order??

Here is it....snipped from you know where


This is a dish that was inspired by a cream corn served up by Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q. There are numerous locations around San Antonio, my favorite being the store on Highway 151 at the Seaworld exit. It has been several years since I have been to Texas and I understand Rudy's has some franchise stores that have opened as well. I can only hope that the quality of the food has remained consistent.

Anyway, like most signature dishes there is some secrecy involved. I once asked the late "Doc" Holiday about his corn and he just laughed and said the secret was all the love that went into it. He then produced a free sample of smoked turkey, thus ending the discussion. I have a collection of 5 recipes, one of which claims to come from an ex-employee of Rudy's. Some use twice the cream cheese than I think is necessary. Below is my version of cream corn.

2 lb frozen super sweet corn, thawed and drained
As much love as you can spare
1/2 stick butter, cubed
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/8 to 1/4 cup whipping cream
2 to 3 ounces of cream cheese, cubed
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Puree some of the corn to act as a thickener. Add all ingredients except the salt and pepper to a pot and slowly bring up to a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Once the cheese has started to melt, lower the temp and allow the corn to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add sugar as needed to suit your sweet tooth.

This can be cooked in the oven in a casserole dish or for real large batches use a crock pot.

Yeah, if I ever open a resturant that is how I am going to do it (prolly never will.... too much work mod....I enjoy it too much to do it for a living again). Love going to Luling City Mkt in Houston.

I hope you picked up a batch of their rub whilst you were there.

 

[thillin]

No rub. I still have some. We try to make it to the Rudy's in Denton about the time I run out. I did get a ziploc bag from Kreuz's for the next sauce/rub trade.

Got some of Rudy's sauce from Ty a while back. I'm spoilt now. Man that's good stuff.
