Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington D.C. stands out because of its classic façade. It started in 1958 and has been a witness to D.C.’s history. The restaurant is famous for its original half-smoke chili dog—a spicy quarter-pound pork and beef sausage placed on a warm steamed bun then topped with mustard, onions, and Ben’s homemade spicy chili sauce. Former President Barack Obama and other celebrities love Ben’s Chili Bowl. In fact, he ate there before he was inaugurated in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
