Corner caterer offers hottest hot tómales
Ay Robert Lothian
Ed Dines* camper is small but full
io the ro o f with the big smell o f his
hot tomales.
Dines has been selling his tomales
from a pickup-mounted camper at the
corner o f 15th and Killingsworth for
seven years. He owns the lot, also the
house next door w hich he rents to
tenants who let him run an electric
cord to his camper.
“ You can't do too many things and
master it,** said Dines, $4, a retired
Publisher's Paper C o. employee. In
ad d itio n to his tom ales he o ffers a
special limited edition sausage sand
wich. H e hopes to expand in to a
house trailer on the lot soon when the
papers and negotiations with the city
arc com plete, and o ffe r rib sand
wiches.
He wants to have a drive-up w in
dow in the trailer so that customers
“ can get their s tu ff and keep step-
pin’ ,** he said. But with $200 for the
plans required by the city alone, and
as many licenses as any restaurant,
Dines wonders if “ they don’t want me
here, I'm so little. T h a t’ s how they
keep a poor person down. They never
give you any breaks, they never gave
me any.”

ago. T hat recipe includes ground
beef, corn meal dough and secret
spices, all wrapped up in parchment
paper and steamed for several hours.
" C o rn husks are o b s o lete ,” said
Dines. A n d what are those secret
spieces? " T h a t's a m illio n dollar
question,'* he says, but he would di
vulge that they include chili powder,
although not too much.
His customers are cab drivers,
ambulance drivers, police and doc
tors. "J u s t about anybody comes
by here from time to tim e," he said.
Eddie D ra y e r, w ho lives in St.
Johns, has dropped by about once a
week for three years. “ I ’ve got a taste
for 'em ,” said Drayer. “ I usually get
’em on my way to w ork. You can't
beat the seasoning.” D ray er said
even his three- and four-year-old chil
dren go for the tomales.
Dines retired from Publisher's with
a disbility “ a long time ago,** he said.
“ M y bones just wore out from work
ing hard all my life.
His worklife started out pushing a
cart along railroad tracks in Louisi
ana, collecting scrap metal. H e said
he's supposed to be in a wheelchair,
but that idea d id n 't set right w ith
him . ‘ ‘ I'v e always been busy,” he
said.
He brought his tomale recipe with
W hile his sm all business doesn’ t
make him a lot of money. Dines said
it docs keep him busy and talking with
the public, something he obviously
enjoys. " I t was just something I want
ed to do ever since I can remember. I
enjoy what I'm doing," he said.
