So it may not be on the level of Barack Obama or Bill Cosby, but U Street mainstay Ben’s Chili Bowl had two local stars drop in yesterday: the Nats’ Bryce Harper and rapper Wale. The Nats Inquirer reported the visit, which apparently include both Harper and Wale cutting in line to get their food. (Total clown move, bro.) According to a tweet from Harper, the visit to Ben’s capped off a day-long hang-out between the two.

Kicked it wit the homie @bharper3407 today .. Talked sneaks, Nats, hiphop , rg3 .. And my pitching skills! Ha
