Forgot Charlies, not sure if there are any in wny, but they were out in the albany area. I think they were the best. The one knock against teds is that they are not unique, they use sombody else's dogs, and just cook em on a wood grill. Unimpressive to me! Theres a place called maui dogs here in wildwood, NJ iwhich is good too. the dogs are homemade, and fat free. They tast excellent, and you get them in a dog bowl!
