Some of the best cooking moments are the ones you didn’t see coming.

Chef Paul Wahlberg was out on his brother’s boat in Idaho when an unexpected challenge was issued: burgers. On a boat. Paul’s reaction was understandably skeptical, but one cook later, he was sold. The secret? A Kenyon electric grill.

We heard the story and decided to send Paul his own. The Kenyon Frontier Portable Grill, paired with our griddle accessory. Now he cooks on it year-round, and in his words, it’s “good size and it just does such a good job.”

Coming from a chef, that’s not a throwaway line.

From Boat Burgers to Mexican Street Corn

.

Turns out, burgers were only the beginning.

Since getting his own Kenyon Grill, Chef Paul Wahlberg has been putting it to work—and one of his latest recipes is a grilled take on Mexican street corn.

.

Paul starts by grilling fresh ears of corn until the kernels develop a good char. While the corn cooks, he mixes up a creamy combination of mayonnaise, Mexican crema, lime, smoked paprika, cayenne, Cotija cheese and cilantro.

.

Once the corn has rested, he cuts the kernels from the cob and piles them over the creamy mixture, finishing everything with more Cotija and fresh cilantro.

The Grill Behind the Recipes

The same grill that surprised Paul on that Idaho boat trip is the one he now reaches for at home.

The Frontier Portable is built for exactly this kind of versatility. Marine-grade stainless steel, a 1,300-watt concealed electric element, and no gas or open flame—just consistent, reliable heat wherever you plug it in. Add the griddle and your cooking options open up considerably, whether you’re doing burgers, breakfast, Mexican street corn or anything in between.
