    It was a lot of fun filming this video with you, Eric. The recipe is as tasty as it looks. The garlic infused olive oil really enhanced the flavor of the dish. Yum!

    I've had something similar to this in a restaurant recently, but they added some feta cheese. Your version looks wonderful with the grilled corn.
