I have a hard time wrapping my brain around this. 

Its corn. It may be delicious. Then it would be delicious corn. But, still not ribs. 

Banana peel bacon... is banana peels. It may be delicious. Then it would be delicious banana peels. But, still not bacon.

I like the idea.  I think it would be a good conversation ender at the neighborhood BBQ.  People always walk by and ask, "what's cookin'?"  I would love to say "Corn Ribs".   

I always get a few nervous looks and laughs with "buffalo turds", "cookies", "brownies", and "Devils on Horseback".  I think Corn Ribs would cause people to walk faster.

I'm in!

So I looked into these a bit more, and I have to say - I'm up for giving them a shot.  I don't care what they're called they look pretty good to me.  Lots of recipes out there.  Seems like it would be plenty easy to do them on the BGE.

i still dont see it with a traditional bbq sauce. something like this might improve on the idea

Taiwanese Grilled Corn
4 tablespoons soy paste
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
4-5 cloves of garlic, smashed
hot chili sauce (optional)

How many people will chop off a finger cutting through corn cobs with a dull knife?  The prep can't be easy.

Indeed, one video I watched on this made that quite clear.  There's some technique there, aside from having the correct knife.

I'll stick with Mexican street corn.  I'm no knife master but the one's I use are sharp.  Figure that's one less challenge and skill-set that's too late for me to master.

Going to pass on this. Seems like corn on the cob with more work involved.

Yes, many cuisines/cultures do grilled corn in different ways. And its delicious. They're just not delusional enough, or find the need,  to  call it by some meatful name. 

Good God, man!! Is nothing sacred anymore?!?

I had to work way too hard to actually watch that video just to see some fool knock his own teeth out with a piece of corn.  But… thanks, I guess?

Unless there was stool passing in close proximity to it, I usually didn't pay attention.

You have more patience than I do, it required a login so I’m out. Thanks for the review

I would venture that the teeth knock-out was fake as there was no immediate red juice on him or the corn when it happened.  But I may have missed it.

Saw Pioneer Woman do these on Food Network last weekend. I like the basic idea.

Where is it on the difficulty spectrum compared to running a nuclear submarine?

I think we need a corn rib throwdown.

Guess I won't share my recipe for corn steaks then.

I haven't researched, because I'll never make these, but am sort of curious... the cob is treated as the rib bone?  Or are people actually eating that?

Is there any other kind?

I think these are just an interesting diversion into veg that imitates meat.  @caliking has set the bar much higher with that corn lobster he posted.  Very well executed, the carving alone must’ve taken hours.

corn tentacles for those that dont eat meat, theres always one

I agree with Frank on this one.  A lot of options for corn with much less risk of injury. I recently got around to making a corn dish I printed years ago after seeing on DDD and neighbors really enjoyed. Here’s a link… https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bacorn-cheese-3500698
I didn’t want an overly sweet version so I opted for Heavy Cream versus Condensed Milk and I’ll definitely make again.  It’ll be sizzling like Fajitas when you add it to the CI skillet so makes for a nice presentation as well. 

 If there’s a chance of digit loss than it’s going to have to involve whipped cream and a vertically challenged cocktail server, but I digress.
