Ben’s Chili Bowl: Darn Good Chili!
I’ve always meant to try the chili at the Washington Landmark- Ben’s Chili Bowl, because I’m a bit of a chili connoisseur…
if there is such a thing.
So, this week being our ‘Spring Break’, my son and I headed down to U street and the famous chili place-
to see how it measured up.
It’s right across from a Metro station and has a small parking lot in back (10 spaces- this is new), just turn into the alley on the left side of Ben’s Chili Bowl and you’ll see the parking lot!
So the review= THIS IS GOOD CHILI! It’s basically Cincinnati chili, which is my favorite, since my parents are both from Cincinnati. Cincinnati chili is the only kind I make.
For those who are not familiar with Cincinnati chili,
It’s thick, thicker than Texas chili, and the secret ingredient is: *drumroll*………………
cinnamon
yes, cinnamon.
The cinnamon makes the chili sweet and if you add a lot- hot!
Try it at home, you’ll love it!
And take a trip down to Ben’s Chili Bowl, a traditional chili diner and enjoy some GOOD chili !
Check it out- and they just opened a restaurant and bar next door.
