Ben’s Chili Bowl’s famed mural to come down. Which icons should be honored next?

A famous D.C. mural is coming down.

Ben’s Chili Bowl announced Wednesday that their famed mural, featured outside of the restaurant’s U Street location, will be replaced.

The mural, originally painted Aniekan Udofia in 2017, features icons like Barack and Michelle Obama, Muhammed Ali, Prince, Chuck Brown and News4’s Jim Vance.

Ben’s Chili Bowl says it’s being replaced due to weathering.

The original mural received over 30,000 votes on who should be featured. And, the restaurant is once again asking customers to vote on who they want to see on the new mural.

News4 asked customers Wednesday who they would want to see on the new mural.

“It hurts a little bit because it’s been there, I think kinda, you know, it tells a story for real. I think we can always update and add people, but I like the ones who are on there for sure,” D.C. resident Rasheed Shaw told News4.

“That definitely represents, you know, the community itself. Shout out to Jim Vance,” he said.

After undergoing renovations for the past year, the restaurant is set to reopen on May 1.

Ideas for the new mural can be submitted until May 10 on the restaurant’s website.
