Ted’s Hot Dogs

Founded in 1927 by Greek immigrant Theodore Spiro Liaros, Ted’s Hot Dogs is a fourth-generation, family owned and operated restaurant known for its charcoal grilled hot dogs, scratch onion rings, burgers, sausages, milkshakes and open-fire cooking tradition. What began as a single stand beneath the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, NY, has since grown into 11 locations across Arizona and Western New York, in addition to a roaming food truck. Ted’s is recognized for its customer-facing cooking style, commitment to real hardwood lump charcoal grilling, and use of regional ingredients and brands. Nearly a century later, Ted’s continues to serve authentic, made-to-order comfort food while expanding its 45-year legacy in Arizona. tedhotdogs.com.
