Ben's Chili Bowl (late night) ★ 4.6
Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington DC is the 1958 U Street half-smoke counter, the city's late-night anchor with the chili half-smoke served until 04:00.
Try: Chili half-smoke past 02:00
Tip: Cash and card both work past 02:00; the take-away counter on the right runs faster than the dining-room line.
