From the same people as Pedal Haus. For me personally, any new bar that says they have "dive bar DNA" does not compute. But I can get behind a $5 hot dog, beer and shot lunch. When I saw "Ted's" and "hot dog," I was hoping it was associated with Ted's Hot Dogs, but it doesn't look like it.
Yes, "dive bar DNA" is a weird phrase. I don't envision places being born as dives. They get that way though years of wear-and-tear with the result being a patina that people either love or hate. It's interesting the article mentioned Balboa Cafe. I have to reach back three decades, but I have memories of meals there.
