Transcript excerpt
It's like an eggnog better with corn and jalapeno and chicken. Better tier, imagine you're at someone's dinner and they hand you a bowl of corn cream and jalapeno that's a little bit spicy. We garnish this with a tiny baby corn that covers in spice. We're calling it corn and jalapeno eggnog.
