A tribute to the Chicago icon known simply as “The Tamale Guy.” And now a few choice quotes from Yelp…
He is lusted after:
“Last time I saw Tamale Guy I was finally able to express my true feelings for him. I put my arm around him and I said, “Tamale Guy, I love you. Can I please have some queso tamales?”
He said yes, handed me my bag, then he kissed my hand and told me he loved me too. *sigh* I am so smitten.”
He’s got a sense of humor:
“Last night at Goldie’s I witnessed the Tamale Man in all his glory. He was walking around, pitching his usual “Tamales, tamales, tamales!” and this crazy drunk girl was just like “What?!”
He proceeded to get really close to her face and just yell “tamales” at her until she just turned around.
I love you, Tamale Man.”
And he’s angelic:
“I love this guy, he is like an angel descending from the heavens to personally deliver you hot steamy tamales. Despite what your parents told you, it’s perfectly alright to buy tamales off a stranger who caters to people who are often inebriated.”
