BIG JIM'S RELOCATING
Right across from The Ranchero on North State Street (old HWY 61) in Clarksdale, this eye-catching stand has been a popular stop on the Tamale Trail. For seven years, Big Jim Cole served many a red hot from the walk-up window, along with barbecue, hog maws, and koolickles by the gallon. But Big Jim recently sold his stand and is now working on opening a new location on HWY 49. In the interim, you can still get Big Jim's hot tamales here. He's supplying the new owner with tamales as fast as he can make them. Know, though, that all of Big Jim's decorations are gone, so if you're in Clarksdale and need a tamale fix, be on the lookout for a naked beige building with nary a sign.
