Does Ben's have the best hot dogs and chili? Probably not. But the location, atmosphere and history more than make up for it. I tried to get a couple of co-workers to go here but they balked. I came later in my trip and had a blast. I love places like this that embrace their past and are still down to earth. I'm not the only one who thinks this as the place is always packed with a line out the door at lunch. Come early and savor the atmosphere.
Yeah! New York carts have there charm but, when it comes to the pure enjoyment of what a hot dog is, nothing beats a grilled hot dog from Ben's Chili Bowl in D.C. History and taste wrapped up in one! Don't escape D.C. without trying a turkey burger with a litle bit of that chili slathered on top.
