Ben’s Chili Bowl owner Virginia Ali as much a local treasure as the restaurant she founded with her husband Ben Ali in 1958 turns 87 today. Earlier this fall, we asked Ali what she was most grateful for amid such a difficult year.
What’s this pandemic been like for Ben’s as a business and you personally?
It’s certainly been a challenge for the business, of course, as it has for all businesses and particularly small ones. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced in my 87 years. We’re doing our best day by day. The love and support that we’ve gotten from our community has been absolutely heartwarming.
