Ben Ali, the founder of Ben's Chili Bowl, a landmark D.C. eatery that has fed presidents, celebrities and the common folks of city, died last night of congestive heart failure at his home in Washington. He was 82.
Ben's Chili Bowl is one of my favorite places in the city, and Ben Ali's perserverance and spirit are insipiring. It's a great loss to his family and our community.
