F4tF: Breakfast at Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington D.C.

Recently I was in Washington D.C. for a few days visiting some friends who I hadn’t seen in a while.  Apart from getting together with my D.C. area friends for some dining and drinking adventures, I had two places on my list of places that I wanted to go to by myself just to enjoy the experience.  One was the Dupont Circle Farmer’s market which I wrote up last week. The other place was Ben’s Chili Bowl.


If you have been to Washington D.C. but have never been to Ben’s Chili Bowl, you are missing out on one of the great food destinations in the USA and quite possibly the best Chili Dog you will ever have in your life. Ben’s is famous for their Chili Half-Smoke.  Here is the description of the Chili Half-Smoke from the Ben’s website menu page

Bill Cosby’s Original Chili Half-Smoke – $5.45
Our signature dish! Experience the Chili Half-Smoke, originally made famous by Ben’s in 1958 and a favorite of Mr. Cosby’s since the early 60’s. We put this 1/4lb. half pork and beef smoked sausage on a warm steamed bun and top it with mustard, onions and our spicy homemade chili sauce.  There are few culinary delights better at any price. Want it well done?  Have yours split and grilled on request.

It is hard not to find time to eat at Ben’s Chili Bowl as they have crazy hours (their description not mine)

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi: Rome

Rome is an album that you must listen to from beginning to end as a whole, for the tracks that blend common themes will give a deeper understanding of the entire listen.  Reflective of what became the musical basis for Italian Western films in the 1960s and beyond, the combination between Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi succeed in producing a record of substantial triumph.

Pink Floyd: David Gilmour and Roger Waters Reunited With Nick Mason Tonight

Last July Roger Waters made big news when he announced that his former Pink Floyd band mate David Gilmour would join him on stage at a The Wall gig to play and sing Comfortably Numb. Apparently tonight’s the night as Gilmour’s blog includes an entry stating that David will join Rog at the 02 Arena in London this evening.


Those hoping for future Gilmour guest spots will be disappointed to know that this is a one-off appearance…

I should also remind you that tonight is most definitely a one-off; David is not repeating his special guest performance at a later occasion, I’m sorry to disappoint those of you with fingers crossed and tickets for later shows.

We’ll be sure to share some videos and photos as they surface.

UPDATE: As expected Gilmour did join Waters for Comfortably Numb. The other surviving Pink Floyd member, Nick Mason, joined Gilmour and Waters for the Outside The Wall finale. Mason joined his old mates on tambourine. READ ON for a photo and a video of Dave tearing shit up…
