Ben's Chili Bowl feeding D.C. protestors

The protestors camped out in Freedom Plaza are getting a dose of one of D.C.’s most beloved institutions. Ben’s Chili Bowl will be serving up its half-smokes and more for free on Tuesday evening to the occupiers at the plaza near the White House.

The protestors, who pitched tents in Freedom Plaza more than two weeks ago, open their dinner service to everyone. Dinner usually takes place around 7 p.m., after the group’s 6 p.m. general assembly. Related protestors in McPherson Square also open their food tent to all.
