Being born and raised in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, these are something I remember fondly, and they were delicious. There used to be a restaurant on 46th and Ashland called "Coney Island" that did them very well.

And the tamale of choice was always "Tom Tom" which is still made in Chicago.

I think Bordain had one on a show from Chicago. Kind of thing I would try only if I had a Tums ready for dessert.

Of a sandwich named "The Mother-in-Law!!

I was watching a new "Best Of" program on TLC, narrated by John Goodman. Tonight was their Top 10 sandwiches. One of the winners was a Mother-in-Law sandwich from Johnny O's in Chicago. The sandwich consisted of a tamale on a hot dog roll, smothered in chili and topped with tomato, onion and sport peppers. Never heard of it before. Anybody ever have one?
