Ted’s Restaurant

In Meriden, the folks at Ted’s have been doing their share of burgering for more than five decades, and the secret to inspiring their loyal following is the way they steam the patties. Juicy, tender, and topped with cheddar … We’re reluctant to suggest that they’re healthier than grilled or broiled burgers, but for sure they’re mighty good. 1046 Broad St., Meriden. 203-237-6660; tedsrestaurant.com
