Washington, DC, has a little bit of everything for history buffs and foodies, but it's Ben's Chili Bowl, which sits on the historic U Street once known as Black Broadway, where the two come together. Insider's Lisa Paradise stopped by for a bite of the chili half-smoke: a half-pork, half-beef sausage smothered in homemade chili crafted from a generations-old secret family recipe that has remained popular for so many generations it was named the city's signature dish.

I'm half asleep, and stoned from my wake and bake, and just started sipping my coffee here in NYC.... all I read was "I went to bens for a half-smoke, it was an iconic joint".... me: worddddd, must have been good getting one of them chili dogs, after blazin up. lmfao. Then I realized the Iconic JOINT was the place, and the half-smoke was the dog. Also like you said in your reply.... me as a New Yorker would argue this dog isn't anything crazy... looks good sure... but best in the world? Come on... Also, it's a hot dog lol... it's not like it's a burger, or pizza, or bagels... things that are actually hard to make... or can have a certain level of quality to them... hot dog is sausage in a bun... your sausage can be great yeah... but the only star here, or the only thing that could highly vary in quality from horrible to incredible would be the chili...

I don't think either of the kids were there, but Virginia showed up towards the end. She came in talking and smiling, very small in stature but very proud in tone. She talked to me about the boom box there and complimented me on my longboard, followed by the comment "Oh be careful now, you could get yourself real messed up on that thing". Absolutely made my day. This woman is a national landmark.

It's pretty simple. She wouldn't have called him because it isn't lady like for a woman to call a man. Especially back then. He was probably persistent and won her over. They were together for 50 years before he died. You and anyone else that gives you a thumbs up can't possibly be that stupid that you can't figure that out.
