Ben’s Chili Bowl To Do The Right Thing – Take Down the Bill Cosby Mural

[MrBates2]

1213 U Street, NW

We’ve talked about this before but given the recent news I think it’s time for a straight up call to Ben’s. And especially because this mural is so prominent on U Street (not to mention only a few years old) – it’s embarrassing. But worse than that, I can only imagine how victims of sexual assault feel when they walk by it. It should be taken down period. There may not be precedent in doing so but it’s still the right thing to do. Think they should? Think they will? I’m sure there are many candidates more deserving of this space – how about a return of Duke Ellington to U Street?

Their chili sucks. Too runny for my tastes and I prefer mustard and onions on my half-smokes.

Oh, I agree whole-heartedly on the onions and mustard.

I've not had Ben's, but I make a decent chili myself.

Chili is a very personal thing. Everyone has their own preference.


It's a lot like a bj; every woman thinks she gives good head, but really, the skill is in the mind of the receiver.

The OP hates blacks more than rapists. Or shitty chili.

The End.

I like lots of meat and beans so it can stand up on a cracker.

And not much hand action. That's just lazy.

I'm asking for a friend.

Good point.

Chili should, you know, probably be saved for after...

Whatever.

Just do not let that beer slip off your head.

Deal.

On topic, I do think the mural needs painting over. Just to get that out there.

This.

Talk is cheap. Get the Kilz on it early and let the news find out about it themselves.
