A Sahlen's-brand frankfurter charcoal-broiled to order, served on a soft roll with Ted's homemade hot chili sauce, mustard, onion and pickle. Buffalo's signature regional hot dog since 1927.
Greek immigrant Theodore Spiro Liaros opened Ted's Hot Dogs on March 24, 1927 in Buffalo. The Sheridan Drive location opened in 1948 and became the flagship. The Sahlen's frankfurter, the charcoal-broil technique and the homemade hot chili sauce are the canonical Buffalo hot dog combination, still family-owned across nine Western New York locations.
