Ben's Chili Bowl - Washington DC

Located on U Street in the nation's capital, Ben's Chili Bowl is one of the most legendary restaurants in America. And that's quite an accomplishment for a no frills, quick service, order at the counter kind of spot where the specialty of the house is Burgers, Dogs, and Fries, all smothered in Ben's Famous Chili.

Virgina Ali is so kind, I've had the pleasure of meeting her once she is a national treasure

Thats my kind of place. It all looked so good. Would have to get the half and half with the chilli fries for sure. Was fun to watch. Great video

I live for Chili Dogs, and I hope I get the chance to try out this place one day. That Chili Sauce looked amazingly delicious!!

Ben’s is such a landmark! We recently went there and got to interview Virginia Ali! She’s incredible and has so many wonderful stories. It was funny to see people lining up to take photos with her.

You know it's not a tourist trap when you ask the locals how good it is.

I see business has really taken-off! Wow. I looked online and the message from Ben's is that they'll be shipping the week of June 7th. I'm going to give them some time to catch their breath before placing an order. Has to be the TV commercial that has spurred so much interest.
