Q: My husband and I visited the Blue Ridge Grill for lunch a few weeks ago, and I’ve thought about the corn soufflé ever since. Do you think that you could get the recipe for me? I’m sure others would like it as well. -- Doris Lovell, Sandy Springs
A: Ladies and gentlemen, Buckhead has a dirty little secret. Come holiday time, says Blue Ridge Grill general manager Kelley Lenahan, a certain segment of the population passes off the restaurant’s corn soufflé as its own. “They file in with their soufflé dishes so it looks like they baked it." The kitchen staff fills customers’ bakeware with corn soufflé batter and sends them home to bake it in their own oven.
She was happy to share the recipe. Loaded with heavy cream and eggs, this soufflé “is not for the faint of heart,” she joked. But it feels light on the tongue, and the sweet-saltiness compels you to take just one more bite.
-- Deborah Geering, for the Journal-Constitution
