EF Explore America

For the last 65 years, Ben’s Chili Bowl has held a special place in Washington, D.C.’s heart. What started as a simple chili restaurant in 1958 has become a longstanding community hub that has served everyone from presidents to unhoused neighbors. When students head to historic U Street on an EF Explore America tour, they could have the opportunity to sit and eat at Ben’s, enjoy the jukebox playing Motown, and lean in close to see the dozens of photos that line the walls.
