Delicious Classic- Ben's Chili Bowl, DC

What can I say about one of the most famous restaurants in DC?  Delicious, classic, exciting! That is exactly what Ben's Chili Bowl is all about.

I went there a couple of weeks ago during lunch. I had heard about this place from the Travel Channel. I decided to check it out for myself.
 I tried their Jumbo Beef Dog for only 5.45. WOW! 
I truly enjoyed my time there and I know I will be back when I am in the area!!!

Their Columbia, MD location was selected by USA Today February 5, 1999 as one of “Ten Great Places to Celebrate the Chinese New Year in the Nation”.
