"So it looks like I was wrong back three or four years ago, along with many other hounds, in thinking that the Asian Cajun fad in the [San Gabriel Valley] would die out and the imitators jumping on the Boiling Crab/Crabulous bandwagon would fall by the wayside. But in fact there are quite a few more of these running around the San Gabriel Valley now than they were back then." – Chandavkl

"They're called elotes or ezquites in Spanish. In my neighbourhood in Anaheim there are roaming vendors who sell them ... for a damn sight less than the USD equivalent of £2.60. Try [finding them at] Boysen Park at the weekend. Listen for a bell ringing and a man's voice calling, "¡Elotes, ezquites, elotes, riiiiiiiiiicos ezquites!" – Das Ubergeek

"Oh, and they apparently cook their food with 'drinking water' ... as opposed to, I suppose, dishwasher water?" – ipsedixit on food preparation at Why Thirsty, a new Taiwanese joint in San Gabriel
