Ted's

"What a delicious mess! I was able to eat about half of this hefty steamed cheeseburger before it completely disintegrated onto its paper plate. I ate the rest by picking and plucking at the pile of meat, bun, cheese, tomato, onion and lettuce."
Michael Stern






"Standard home fries, but the preparation and seasoned grill make them fantastic."
Mike Iacoucci



"These big sticks of cheddar cheese are cut and cooked until jelly-soft in the steamer."
Michael Stern



"A monument of vapor-cooked meat and cheese ... impossible to pick up and eat without serious drippage."
Michael Stern



"The little rectangular metal trays are loaded with beef for the steamer box. They look like mini-meat loaves."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"Blocks of cheese are melted in the same trays as the beef. It's a lot more cheese than you'd normally get on a burger."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"Paul Duberek tends little pans of molten cheese and sizzling meat amidst clouds of aromatic steam from his vintage cooker."
Michael Stern



"World Famous? We'd bet most people have never even heard of a steamed cheeseburger, much less eaten one."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"An opportunity to taste hambuger history ... although to most patrons, Ted's is just a friendly place to eat lunch."
