Hot Dog Stands

Tom Tom Beef Tamales

Chicago's paper-wrapped tamale since 1937 — the hot dog stand classic.

$12.99

Since 1937, Tom Tom Beef Tamales have been the odd, perfect thing sitting next to the fries at Chicago hot dog stands. Each 3.5 oz tamale is a soft cornmeal roll packed with seasoned beef, paprika and spices, wrapped in paper instead of a husk — a style unique to this city. No artificial colorings. Steam or microwave, then smother it in chili for a Mother-In-Law, or eat it straight with mustard like the regulars do.
