Where To Eat When You’re Visiting DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Ben’s Chili Bowl put DC’s infamous half-smoke on the map. And while there are better sausages around town (especially the ones at Halfsmoke and DCity Smokehouse), you really should pay homage to the OG first. We force everyone who visits us to come here, because it’s just as much a historical landmark as it is a restaurant. Grab the original chili half-smoke with all the fixins and ask them to split it in half." - tristiana hinton, allison robicelli
