Here's the gist on Hodad's:
"While the restaurant, known for it's mammoth, juicy burgers, onion rings and thick shakes, has long been a popular hangout for locals, it wasn't until 2007 when Hodad's was featured on Guy Fieri's Food network program “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” that the lines out the door grew even longer. Like the seaside community in which it sits, Hodad's has a decidedly funky feel, with its humorous vanity license plates crowding the walls and surfboards suspended from its ceiling."
"Fieri on Friday tweeted to his followers, "RIP Mike Hardin 'boss man.' You helped the world in so many ways. We will miss you everyday."
Even Guy Fieri was taken aback. He was visiting his daughters. I wouldn't wish that on any one. Mike Hardin, RIP.
It still amazes me how people can suddenly just die.
They always have a long line.
Have you ever been to any of the Hodad’s locations?
RIP.
We got hamburgers there in August, when we were in San Diego. So crowded that we walked down to the beach and sat on the beach wall to eat our burgers. Messy, but amazing! RIP Mr Hardin. Glad your restaurant will keep going!
Met him once at Hodad’s while there for a trade show. He served us up the “Guido Burger”. I still have a picture of it...
