NobesBLO13 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 On 3/9/2020 at 12:04 PM, The Real Buffalo Joe said: Whenever I come home, the first and last place I stop is a little hole in the wall diner in Lackawanna, right by the South Buffalo border called "Abbott Texas Hots." The dogs themselves are Salhen's I believe, so good, but nothing special. But their sauce is the best Texas sauce I've ever had. I always get 2-3 hot dogs, drizzled in sauce, and fries with a side of the sauce. I'd buy a jar, but the owner is very secretive about the recipe and won't let anybody have more than they'll need for a meal. Yes 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, since both poll options are “YES”, are you an investor in Ted’s? So far, the poll results are 22-2.....yes. I’m confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Man Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 For hot dog joints Ted's is pretty good but I am a Zorbas guy myself. That is my "must-visit" when back in the Buffalo area. As for hot dog brands I have been converted into a Hofmann guy since moving to the Syracuse area. Nothing like a Hofmann coney with some spicy mustard fresh off the grill.

When I was still courting Bride #2, I think the trip to Ted’s Sheridan Drive was what sealed the deal. (Draw your own conclusions...) "OH MY! IT'S SO BIG!"

I've eaten at Ted's a dozen or so times over the years and I never understood the craze. Ted's (Sahlens) and Zweigles are both excellent in their own ways. Where are the Syracuse peeps repping Heid's in Liverpool? 1 hour ago, Metal Man said: For hot dog joints Ted's is pretty good but I am a Zorbas guy myself.

oldmanfan Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 My first stop every time I'm back. Two burned with sauce, onion, and pickle, rings. It's heaven. Way, way back in the day when I was 10 years old I played baseball for the Lincoln Park Lions. an 8 year old kid named Teddy tried out and made the team, played center field. He was the grandson of the guy who started Ted's. Teddy's dad ran the Sheridan store (only one other than the one next to the Peace Bridge then), and he was so happy Teddy was on the team he told us we could get free lunch if we won on Saturday morning. We went undefeated and I still have great memories of going to get lunch with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Wow, all these people posting on the onion rings. I find them horrendous. So greasy, not crispy, batter falling off all the time. No thanks. Maybe its just the sheridan drive location? I'll just take my dogs with a small fry with vinegar and ketchup on the fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That onion ring seems peculiar to Ted’s. Like black licorice and liverwurst, it may well be an acquired taste. ? 18 minutes ago, oldmanfan said: My first stop every time I'm back.

Eventually it folded, menu was virtually identical to Ted’s, and if I recall correctly, it was founded by a relative of the original Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
