Ted’s Bulletin Opening Second Location

The popular Hill eatery will fling open a new set of doors on 14th Street on Monday, August 19, at 7am, fattening the neighborhood with its deservedly popular homemade pop tarts and classic menu of American comfort food. The new location will also debut Ted’s donuts (we’d been thinking of it for a long time, grumbled the owners when accused of being trendy). The yeast donuts manage to be dense and airy at the same time, with their fine sheen of glaze enhancing their gentle sweetness. The cake donuts are gloriously classic diner food, just better. While the Capitol Hill location will always have a special place in our hearts, these donuts place the 14th Street restaurant in an even, er, special-er place. Diners will also appreciate the open, bright airiness of this location – very different from the cramped bar/bakery area in the 8th St SE restaurant.

The donuts are fresh, wholesome, and calorie-free. Really. No, really. Ok, maybe not the last part.

Ok, who cares if they’re not calorie free??

The blueberry cheesecake pop tarts are a decadent twist on the classic.

But we really love the brown sugar pop tarts – richly decadent filling surrounded by a perfectly flakey pastry.

The pop-tart assembly station is up front for your viewing pleasure. After rolling out the dough on a marble countertop, the filling is piped out, and an egg wash brushed around the edges.

Then, the dough is folded over. The egg wash helps hold the seams together.

They’re then trimmed, crimped, and put on a baking sheet. And again, the finished product – in this case, the utterly classic strawberry pop tarts.

You can also get homemade twinkies. This is why I was not upset when Hostess went out of business.

Unfortunately, some people cannot live on sugar alone. So Ted’s Bulletin also provides things like the short rib sandwich, with aged white cheddar and arugula.

Or perhaps the shrimp and chicken kabobs with rice pilaf?

In any case, accompany your main meal (whether it’s a sandwich or a pop tart) with a boozy shake – in this case, the Nutty Professor, which features hazelnut liqueur. Did someone say ‘happiness’?
