Ben's gets good mention - sort of

"So where does Anthony Bourdain – chef, writer, traveler - spend his night after bumping elbows with six of D.C.’s top chefs? Unsurprisingly, at Ben’s Chili bowl.

Keeping true to his inclinations for “adventurous” eating, Anthony Bourdain visited famed Ben’s Chili Bowl Tuesday night after having MC’ed D.C.’s annual Capital Food Fight.

“I loved it, it’s the kind of food I like,” responded Bourdain to a question during the Q&A session of his sold-out talk at Lisner Auditorium Wednesday night. “There’s something about ground mystery meat sitting under a burner at a suspect temperature,” said Bourdain, adding that to eat like him, one must love, “… spending quality time in the bathroom.”"

Kind of an back handed insult, but props to Ben's.

Personally I think Ben'a ought to sue him. All the food I've ever eaten there has always been hot and freshly cooked. Matter of fact I might just go there this afternoon.
