Ben, the two of us need look no more

Dear Ali Family,

I was so very happy to hear that you'd be getting a few stalls at National's Stadium. Honestly, it would have been wrong not to have you there. And I won't gripe about paying extra....it's still a bargain for the wonderfulness that is a chili half smoke.

Well, all of that said, someone needs to tell you this:

One of your stalls is selling big-ass beef dogs and calling them half smokes. They came out of a tin, rather than off the grill, and their was no friggin pork in them. Trust me, I've lived in D.C. for the past ten years, and I've got hypertension at the tender young age of 34. With those creds, I think that I know what's a half smoke and what isn't.

Someone also needs to ask the following question: When the hell did half smokes start coming with shredded cheese? Please tell me that you did this to appease those bastard Phillies fans who so love our park.

Seriously....what's going on over at Barracks Row?
