Ben’s Chili Bowl
Bill Cosby loves chili dogs, and he thinks that one place in particular has the best around: Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington, D.C.
Though the chili itself wasn’t as good as the wonderful stuff we had in Cincinnati, the chili dogs were some of the best we’ve ever had. The impatient cook, the loud 50s music, and the extremely diverse crowd made the experience all the better. We had an Asian couple to our left and what looked like the Russian mafia to our right. A spattering of caucasians and an African-American majority rounded out the diversified roster and we were all brought together under the banner of tasty chili dogs. It was a lot like I imagine heaven will be.
And if this wasn’t enough, the chili cheese fries were maybe the greatest on the face of the planet. Highly recommended, and Ben’s Chili Bowl worked hard to earn an Official Lumpy Places Salute!
