Anyway, Ted's Hot Dogs was on the menu during my last stay in Buffalo. Ted's uses Sahlen's wieners, a local product similar to a European wiener found in butcher shops in Toronto. Some might find them to be an acquired taste, I really like them.
The neat thing about Ted's is that they use real hardwood charcoal to cook their dogs, walking into the restaurant it actually smells like someone's having a BBQ out in their back yard.
When cooked, the dogs get a nice bit of char on them and the skins split, making the dogs easy to bite through. Condiments are typical, relish, ketchup, mustard, onions, pickle. Ted's does have a spicy relish/hot sauce I added to mine to give it a peppery kick.
Their fries seem to be of the frozen variety but arrive nice and crispy without being overly dark. Their onion rings are almost onion straw-like, lightly battered yet very crisp. My only complaint with the rings is that their batter/flour could use more seasoning....
Ted's is pretty reasonable as well, lunch for 2 was just over $11.

We tried this last summer and were thoroughly underwhelmed.

Point taken Davwud. The fries are prefab, the onion rings (straws?) need seasoning. Both need help.
I enjoyed the dogs and they have become a favourite of mine. I am not always a huge fan Nathan's or Hebrew National's ballpark franks. The European style weiner works for me.
