    Kent,
    I put my corn in an ice bath for about 30-45 minutes. Put on the egg at 300 direct. Turn for awhile. Feel the corn for when done.
    Add Raging River and Butter for a great flavor.[p]Mike

    Subject: Pancho's Enchiladas[p]Executive chef, Sandra Banchs loves to incorporate the flavors of her
    native Puerto Rico into Canyon Cafe's Tex-Mex dishes. She uses
    oregano, garlic, olive oil and this philosophy: "Just keep it fresh."[p]"The company gives us the freedom to create what we want and make
    changes to the menu if we want to," she said. Banchs also has added
    her own steak preparation, a new quesadilla and two salads to the
    menu here.Canyon Cafe is part of a small chain of Southwestern-themed [p]restaurants (the Arizona locations are called Sam's Cafes). Banchs
    started with Canyon Cafe in San Antonio, Texas, then worked in Dallas[p]and Houston before moving to St. Louis 6 1/2 years ago.[p][p]Pancho's Enchiladas - Serves 4
