Facebook – one of my favorite sources, in addition to Wikipedia – had an article on about Ted’s Hot Dog’s 90th anniversary<\/a>\u00a0that was published in the Buffalo News.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This photo is of a Ted’s in Western New York.<\/p>\n

It the discussion that followed the article, I learned that there was a Ted’s in the Phoenix area! Well, I just had to check it out.<\/p>\n

One day, when I was finished administering a test near their Tempe location, I went there for dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some things looked very similar to the Western New York locations. There’s the big neon sign.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hours sign with the familiar hot dog character.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There he is again!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the landscaping kind of gave away the location. That doesn’t quite look like Buffalo!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I was waiting for my hot dog to be cooked, I noticed that they had the Buffalo News in racks for us to read. Cool!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dinner!<\/p>\n

My seat was near the door, and I heard three men pausing to discuss things. I do love to eavesdrop! They were discussing Buffalo, and so I stuck my nose in the conversation and asked them if they were from Buffalo. We chatted for a bit, and it turns out that one of the men was the grandson of the original Ted! His name is also Ted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He graciously posed for a photo with me.<\/p>\n

What a fun dinner!<\/p>\n
