Smoked Pork Tamales

Smoked pulled pork simmered in a rich mole sauce and wrapped in tender masa and corn husks. The smokiness of the pork plays off the deep, complex mole for a savory, hearty tamale. Serve them with verde or house mole sauce, rice, and a cold drink. Cootie Brown’s, the Johnson City, Tennessee, restaurant named for a fictional globetrotting foodie, has been making tamales since 1999. Perfect for barbecue lovers, game days, or a cozy dinner. Smoke meets mole.

Johnson City, TN
Since 1999, Cootie Brown’s has brought bold diverse flavors and a bit of funk to Johnson City. From New Orleans Muffaletta and Caribbean Jamaican Jerk Chicken to Mexican Tamales and Memphis style BBQ, Cootie Brown has defined an experience quite unlike anything else. But it's their line of homemade desserts that really showcases their unconventional creativity—each pie is a double layer masterpiece. Their most famous Key Lime pie is handmade from scratch and features one tart key lime layer and a second sweet, creamy layer. It’s seriously a one of a kind!
