 Dean began by selling food in 1901 on 60th Street sidewalk out of a makeshift cart — actually, a re-purposed baby carriage — at the corner of West 135th Street (what is now Malcolm X Boulevard).Her wares included chitterlings, hogmaws, and pig's feet as well as corn.In time, she was able to afford a steam table booth, which she attached to the corner newsstand — and she married the newsstand owner, John Dean.
