One of the best things about drinking in Chicago is the Tamale Guy [1]. A hero to all good drinkers, so much so he has songs written about him [2]. You’re a couple beers deep and getting hungry when in walks this guy with an igloo cooler filled with hot, tastey tamales of 5 for $5. I’ve had numerous conversations with fellow bar patrons expressing our desire to have a GPS tracker on the Tamale Guy. Well, now there’s a twitter page [3]that aims to do just that. According to the page [3]:
Tweet a reply to @tamaletracker when and where you saw the tamale guy and then users could be able to follow the progress by following twitter.com/tamaletracker
Genius. My weekends will now be filled with beer and tamales.
