Every D.C. Restaurant Featured in Netflix’s Newest ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ Season | Eater DC

"Rosenthal breaks his half-smoke seal with a long-awaited taste of D.C.’s 65-year-old institution Ben’s Chili Bowl, where he meets Ben’s widow and longtime owner Virginia Ali. Rosenthal brings along his son, who’s ironically named Ben. Rosenthal applauds the 90-year-old legend for helping “feed the Civil Rights movement,” and Ali points to the seat where Martin Luther King Jr. sat while planning the March on Washington in 1963. After devouring the half-smoke with everything, the father-son duo finish off a Big Ben’s Burger — and find out it’s the historic restaurant’s rising best seller as of late." - Tierney Plumb
