No stranger to the national media limelight, Ted's Restaurant in Meriden was featured on the Travel Channel's show "Hamburger Paradise." MyRecordJournal.com cameras caught up with Ted's Owner/Operator Bill Foreman before the show aired and tried to learn the secret to Ted's famous secret cheese. Video for myrecordjournal.com, a community-based news site located in Meriden, CT.
A former Meriden resident, I grew up eating Ted's. They used to be very different. The original owners used real NY style hard rolls from Bonazinga's Bakery right in Meriden, and Cooper CV Sharp cheese that they got in huge wheels and lopped chunks off of. Now the rolls are soft and fall apart, and the cheese doesn't have the "bite" like a good sharp cheddar. K. LeMay's Steamed Cheeseburgers are the new Best In Town. Ck out my video "Steamed Cheeseburger at K Lemay's" and go eat one!

"You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'?"
"Yes, it's a regional dialect."

louis lunch in new haven is way better than this. Ted's buns are to large and the bun and the huge slice of cheese take away from the taste of the burgers.
