Ben’s Chili Bowl to Celebrate 57th Anniversary With Free Milkshakes for Kids

Local kids can get a free sweet treat in honor of Ben’s Chili Bowl’s 57th anniversary tomorrow.

The eatery located at 1213 U Street NW and famous for its half smokes will give away mini milkshakes to kids 12 and under all day tomorrow. Full-sized milkshakes usually cost $3.55.

When reached by phone earlier, spokeswoman Vida Ali was helping a customer in the restaurant and couldn’t immediately comment.
