My band once played a show at DC9, and we ate at Ben's probably about 90 minutes before the show started. I must've had a cloud of smoke behind me during our set. Jeeeezus.

But that was the best meal of our "tour" and the best show. Thanks to Ben's.

They ordered a house specialty, a Chili Half-Smoke -- a quarter-pound half pork and beef smoked sausage on a steamed bun with mustard, onions and chili sauce.

Uh oh.. the steamed bun is going to spark outrage for sure. Better brace ourselves for tomorrow's WSJ piece on it.

"They ordered a house specialty, a Chili Half-Smoke -- a quarter-pound half pork and beef smoked sausage..."

WTF? Muslims aren't supposed to be eating pork! His imam is gonna be furious.

It's a secret sausage if it's smothered with chili, so that's ok.

Great. Now I have a craving for a Ben's chili dog.

And for the record, the only reason I got the craving is because I drank the Kool Aid and worship my Messiah, The Chosen One.

It has nothing to do with Ben's chili bowl making the best hot dog in the US.

/suck it chicago

They've renamed it "Trouble for Obama".

Well, I must say. My day is complete knowing this.

The one thing that continuously impresses me about Obama is not his policies or his politics. But that man manages to be styling everywhere he goes. It's amazing.

I have yet to eat there... but as I live in DC, and this sounds delicious, I may have to try it.

/preferably on a day where I will spend the next several hours alone

Eat a bowl of half-smokes.

"Where's the food at?"

And by "food" he meant "white women".

FTFY

Aw HELL yeah, that sounds AWESOME. All that AND chili fries?

Damn, why did I have to read this right before supper?

And why is it so hard to get a hot dog at a fast food place these days? What happened to the venerable dog?

GaryPDX: worlddan: The one thing that continuously impresses me about Obama is not his policies or his politics. But that man manages to be styling everywhere he goes. It's amazing not human.

Maybe this is why I don't like him?

In other news, Drew ate at a KFC. Ironic?

You got something against style, bassett?

My ass hurts just reading about that food.

Sounds delicious, though.

Fruvous: You got something against style, bassett?

He pines for the days of Gerald Ford perhaps.

Mugato posted the joke I was going to make. :(

This is bad

///for Obama's cardiopulmonary system.

If FOX says he ate pork it must be true? shiat. I want to see with my own eyes the meat being cut off the pig and inserted into his mouth before I believe this. They can fry it first in an open frying pan...no closed magicians frying pan.

/hot

WTF is that guy's problem?

Hope Fox News is there when he takes a dump in a Port-a-John on the Mall at the inauguration

like he's a damn superhero or something.

And this is bad news... for Obama.... his colon and the kids when they get a whiff of half smoke farts.

I heard Obama went into a restaurant and ate everything in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant.

PickinWhiskers: I heard Obama went into a restaurant and ate everything in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant.

Actually, he took the half smoke outside and fed 5,000 people with it, so nobody bought their food. That's why it went out of business.

Prank Call of Cthulhu: Eat a bowl of half-smokes.

I would rather smoke half a bowl and eat.

NOTHING is better after going to 930 than Bens.

absoluteparanoia: Great. Now I have a craving for a Ben's chili dog.

THIS and it was one thing when it was down the street but now it's 600 miles away )=

This farking story makes me hungry.

/off to start some real chili
//gonna dip my sausage in it

MikeXpop:

Is the food going in or coming back up in that photo?

What he be eatin?, chitlins or ribs?

The secret service new duties are to inform people before BHO arrives not to show the bottoms of their feet or eat with their left hands. Obama finds both very offensive.

Michelle is going to make him sleep on the couch. Because of the gas. Same thing happened to Bill after too much of Monica's slooter-sauce.

Yes, YES. He's one of us. He eats what the people eats he's going to save us and fix everything, and all we have to do is do nothing, because he'll take care of us, and take care of everything, and pay our mortgages, and buy us groceries, and give us free healthcare and other fabulous prizes.

Obama sycophants are as disgusting as the W cheerleaders over the last 8 years. All of you get farked.

TBS007: What he be eatin?, chitlins or ribs?

It said in the headline what he ate. Or were you trying to be funny?

Agent19: Yes, YES. He's one of us. He eats what the people eats he's going to save us and fix everything, and all we have to do is do nothing, because he'll take care of us, and take care of everything, and pay our mortgages, and buy us groceries, and give us free healthcare and other fabulous prizes.

The only people who talk like that are right wingers throwing out idiot strawman arguments and it's getting old as fark.

This, and for me it's 7,000 miles away. How I miss Ben's.

why is what the God in waiting has to eat making news? i don't give a shiat what he eats.

Agent19: Yes, YES. He's one of us.

Darn. I typed that in my best Ralph Wiggum impression. I guess I failed.
