Half-smoke-gate! Obama gets more free food, and a new enemy in Bill Cosby
January 12, 2009 at 3:32 pm by Brian Ries
Yet again, Obama’s getting in trouble over free food.
Ben’s Chili Bowl is a D.C. icon — known for the “half-smoke,” the trademark street food of our nation’s capital — that for years had one important rule: Only Bill Cosby eats for free at Ben’s. But the times, they are a changin’.
Recently, Ben’s updated their “Who Eats Free” sign to include the Obama family. Cosby ain’t happy. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of Cosby. You might wake up with an open pudding cup on your pillow, Secret Service or no.
Even worse — apparently Obama had to ask what a half-smoke was. For shame.
