BEYOND BEN'S CHILI BOWL: 7 GREAT DC HALF SMOKES

PUBLISHED ON 1/22/2014

BY LAURA HAYES

Sure, Ben’s Chili Bowl gets most of the hype when it comes to half smokes, the porky, beefy, smoky sausage treats that call DC home. And to be sure, Ben's has soaked up enough late-night booze on U Street to have thoroughly earned its place in DC's heart and arteries. But it's good to broaden your horizons, especially if said broadening leads to the consumption of more encased meats. Here are seven other takes worth your attention... including one you can drink!

Gone are the days of washing down a half smoke with a cold beer. Okay, those days probably aren't actually gone, but Boundary Stone has another fine suggestion. Try their chili cheese half smoke with one of 105 different whiskeys. If you want to stay on-theme, get the High West Campfire or Whistlepig "Bosshog" 12yr. As for the sausage itself, it hails from 13th St Meats and is topped with house-made chili and aged Vermont cheddar cheese.
