Tedy J’s is a family endeavor
Savas Bahtsevanos has owned restaurants since he was 24 years old. After an eight-year break, he decided he had one more restaurant left in him. He purchased Joe Kelly’s on Elm Street in Manchester and changed it to Tedy J’s M City Grille, and he brought on board his two sons, Ted (T.J.) and Alex, to make it a family operation.
“The price was right, and the restaurant was in the heart of downtown,” Bahtsevanos said. “It was an opportunity I couldn’t let it get away.”
Bahtsevanos’s beginning in the restaurant world is a common tale, starting as a dishwasher when he was 14 years old at the old Merrimack restaurant. His first place was Kirk’s Restaurant on Brown Ave. from the mid-1980s to the 1990s. He then owned Bahtsevanos Atlantic Steakhouse until 2002. After that he worked at various jobs while he focused on spending time with his family.
The restaurant urge hit Bahtsevanos again not long after Ted graduated from the University of New Hampshire’s Whittemore School of Business. It was a struggle for Ted to find work in the recession-driven economy, so he joined in on the new endeavor. And younger brother Alex is in his second year at UNH as a restaurant management major, so having him come on board part time completed the picture.
