Washington, DC, has a little bit of everything for history buffs and foodies, but it's Ben's Chili Bowl, which sits on the historic U Street once known as Black Broadway, where the two come together. Insider's Lisa Paradise stopped by for a bite of the chili half-smoke: a half-pork, half-beef sausage smothered in homemade chili crafted from a generations-old secret family recipe that has remained popular for so many generations it was named the city's signature dish.

  • There's just more than taste. Ben's chili bowl is a landmark. I hope it stays, to tell us all, That time passed but history remained.

    We need more places like this back again. Family owned, community, great food, and especially love.
  • @tookitogo
    I love this place. The half-smoke with chili, mustard and onions (well, let’s be honest... 2 of them) is to die for. The staff really is friendly, and I love supporting family businesses. And it’s living history.
  • "I have no idea what to expect from it", she says, holding a bun stuffed with a sausaged, topped with mustard, onions and chili.
