Ben’s Chili Bowl, the famous restaurant on U St., celebrated its 60th anniversary on Wednesday. The Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards organizations joined the festivities as Caps great Peter Bondra and BobDandridge, who played for the Bullets, presented Virginia Ali, the widow of founder Ben Ali, jerseys to commemorate the anniversary.
Ben Ali died in 2009, but the restaurant is still going strong. Stop by for a half-smoke. It’s right across the street from U St. Cardozo Metro.
Bob Dandridge and @PeterBondra12 at the 60th anniversary of @benschilibowl today!
