It's 3 AM. If you're not asleep or in jail, you're at Ben's. Vintage chrome diner look is the original people. Jukebox plays doo wop; neon letters shine backwards through the window. Black and white line up alike for heartburn on a bun, yum, yum. Chili cheese fries linked to global warming but awesome milkshakes make it all good. Like Dollywood but for Malcolm X groupies. World headquarters for the cult of Bill Cosby.
