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.

About Me
- DC Food Junkie
- I’m addicted to cupcakes and obsessed with food in general. I love trying new restaurants and exotic cuisine. I also love taking pictures of food. And talking about food. This lead to starting a food blog. Though I’ve loved food for years, my cooking adventures began two years ago after a near-death experience with a Hot Pocket forced me to rethink my “I don’t cook” stance. (Many would argue that death lurks around any Hot Pocket experience. These people are absolutely right. It was a very dark time in my life.) This blog documents my experiences cooking, baking, trying new foods, and revisiting old favorites in the hopes of sharing my best food experiences and sparing others the trauma of a Hot Pocket ordeal.
