Who Eats Free at Ben's

DC locals will get a kick out of this: Ben's Chili Bowl has updated their who-eats-free policy to reflect the changing demographics of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Is this the terrible first step toward state control of the means of production of chili dogs? Only time will tell.

For years it was just Bill Cosby. Now it's Bill Cosby AND the Obama Family. You, Miss Kickle, still gots to pay for your chili fries and chocolate shake.

who knew? and to think that just last week i was walking by Ben's and told my visitor, "there is a sign in there that clearly states the list of who eats free at Ben's and the answer is simple. Bill Cosby." i guess i have to issue an addendum. I-to-the-E

Yes, the list of permitted moochers has quintupled overnight. The republic is falling, the republic is falling!
I imagine the Secret Service taking Misses Radiance and Rosebud down there and getting them hopped up on greasy food, all, "Skip the frappuccinos, you two. Go where the cool people eat."

Creeping insidious socialism advances several inches...and touches upon the sacred demesne of chili fries. What next. I ask you.

"Come the glorious revolution, everyone will have chili dogs!"
"But I don't likechili dogs."
"Citizen, come the revolution, you'll EAT chili dogs."
"Well in that case, I don't like milkshakes...."

I have yet to find a better hangover cure than Ben's chili cheese fries and a hot smoke. Damn, I miss DC sometimes.
