I believe it was a Cochin de Mino
Building was built by John Culbertson, a local Vietnam Vet and author of various books about his time in country. His restaurant was called "The May Cafe". That concept did not work out, so he rented the building to Chelinos. That worked for a few years, then came the landlord/tenant issues. Ted knew Culbertson through Andy Billups, a local martial artist (student of Bill Cagle, and bought out Cagle at one time), current owner of Victiory Boxing in Edmond. Ted took a clue from a restaurant in Norman called "Tulio's", and built Ted's Cafe Escondido. Sold to Hal Smith Group 2002. Most of the recipes seem to be close to Ted's original....
