With the posting of Ted's Hot Dogs my email count is going to take a serious hit.  Over the years I've received more email urging a visit to Ted's than any other restaurant.  The writers were right.  Ted's deserves such customer loyalty.

The grill is fired with hardwood charcoal - not a typical restaurant char-broiler, but real charcoal.  You get a hit of the smoke as you pull into the parking lot.  The charcoal flavor makes the difference in the hot dogs and hamburgers.

Ted's is famous for their "hot sauce."  It's really chili as in chili dog.  Not all that hot, but with a kick and a strong tomato flavor.  Topped with onions - a great dog.  I went for the foot long.

The onion rings and fries are made on premise.  The portion of rings is huge, and good.  I washed the meal down with a cup of Aunt Rosie's loganberry. 

There are a few Ted's around the Buffalo area, but the Tonawanda Ted's is the earliest Teds that is still open.
