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.
They just showed an episode on “Diners Drive in and Dives” a few days ago, seemed like a good guy..and to die so young..RIP
I’ve seen several shows about Hodad’s, including Guy’s.
At least one show rated it’s hamburger the best in the USA.
I know they have a sign saying: No Shoes. No Shirt. No problem!
