Mother-in-law (sandwich)
The mother-in-law is a fast food dish of Chicago, consisting of a tamale topped with chili, served in a hot dog bun.[1][2][3] The mother-in-law is made with Chicago's unique style of tamale, a machine-extruded cornmeal roll wrapped in paper instead of corn husks, which is typically cooked in a hot-dog steamer.[4][5]

History
Although African-Americans migrating from the Southern United States may have brought tamales to Chicago,[6] no one knows how this sandwich developed.[7][8] Some speculate it may have had its beginnings in Mexico City's torta de tamal, a tamale on a bolillo. The precise origins of the Chicago-style tamale are also obscure.[4]
