Ben’s Big Blog — the blog covering all things Ben’s Chili Bowl — announced yesterday that the venerable D.C. institution now offers a veggie dog on its menu. That makes sense, considering that the eatery has offered veggie chili and veggie burgers for a long time time now — according to the blog, the reason for the dog delay was that ownership hadn’t located a veg-dog “that lives up to the quality and reputation of Ben’s.”

It does look pretty tasty — have any of you tried one of Ben’s veggie dogs yet? If so, let us know how it stacks up in the comments.
