To prepare round rock honey-chipotle glaze:

After spices begin to toast, add chipotle chilies and honey and continue to cook for one minute.
Deglaze pan with black coffee and reduce until glaze thickens.
Once the sauce has reached the proper consistency, reduce heat and steep the cilantro for 10 minutes.
Pass the glaze through a fine mesh chinois and store properly.

Place ears of corn on a cookie sheet, coat with canola oil and season with Kent Rathbun Element's Steak & Chop Garlic Salt.
Place ears of corn on a medium hot wood fire or charcoal grill. Grill corn until golden brown on all sides.

Once corn has cooled, cut corn kernels from the cob and set aside for later use.
In a large sauce pan, melt whole butter and sauté garlic and shallots until translucent.
Add chicken stock, whole milk and cracked black pepper and bring to a boil.
Once chicken stock has come to a boil, add grits and Kent Rathbun Elements Steak & Chop Garlic Salt.
