  • Summary

  • Ben's Chili Bowl isn't just some hot dog shop; it's a Washington DC landmark and an essential part of African American history. Obama's first outing after becoming President-Elect, was there. Husband and wife owners, Ben and Virginia Ali, stayed open through some of the roughest times the city had ever seen, such as the 1968 race riots and the 1980s “war on crack”. Ben’s U-Street neighborhood was devastated through those periods but the restaurant survived it all and has become a landmark.

    Guests: Virginia Ali, Sage Ali, Kamal Ali, Vida Ali, The Ali family, Dr. Bernard Demczuk, and Stanley Mays
