The Ben’s Chili Bowl panda

Seen in front of Washington’s iconic Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street NW. I had never noticed the panda until I went back for another picture of their famous mural, and it turns out that they have pandas in front of some of their other restaurants, too.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

That's one very cool panda and I'd be sure to stop for a picture and probably some chili too.

He appears to be annoyed about getting his picture taken. ;)

Wonderful reflections, colors, clarity and vibrance in this well composed image. Looks like a place worth visiting for a good bowl of chili. I can sense the energy in this wonderful street capture. VV++

Looks like a place we should try the next time we are there. Had to laugh at Nick’s comment. V

Appears as though the Panda has enjoyed a few bowls himself.

I LOOOOOVE chili, wouldn't be able to resist entering that place, and take some home too
