As a connoisseur of filthy/greasy food, I have to say that Ben's Chili Bowl is highly overrated. The burgers, dogs and fries are all about a C+. Five Guys burgers and fries are SO fucking much better and good hotdogs can be found on any street corner. I expect, however, Ben's will be rolling in dough as the U St. corridor continues to expand, because it's not like you're going to stop in to Alero at 2am and get some $20 fajitas.
The innovation that is needed is a way to have, delivered to your door, a Whopper with a side of McDonald's fries. I would pay good money for that. I'm convinced that by not offering that service, Kozmo.com ensured their eventual demise.
what?!?! chili half smoke? hello?! though that and the chili cheese fries are the only items i've tried. i hear the milkshakes are pretty amazing, though.
I hate you for pointing out the online ordering...I am seriously going to gain 50 lbs.
Naomi...Ben's is not open 24 hrs a day...close but closes around 4 am on weekends and around midnight other nights. (But Ben's is seriously so much better...so I get your point).

yeah, I think 5 Guys is so much better. How come they're not open 24 hours????
five guys is good burgers (haven't tried ben's burgers) but yall should talk to charles about his vomiting spree following every five guys trip.
