I love what the burger guy said when he said, " when I die if we get to come back I want to come back as me", ... those are the words of a man who is very very happy with his life and who he is and is very confident in himself.... Cudos brother
We ate here in 2019 when visiting family in SD from Scotland..., and back this year to visit again, and will certainly be back to eat the best burgers on the planet...:)
Went to the downtown San Diego location a couple months back while on vacation, had the double bacon cheeseburger and it was better than I could have imagined. I was so happy while eating I was laughing. Had a chocolate shake with my meal as well. Wasn't hungry for the almost the next 24 hours. Awesome punk/skater vibe at the DT location that reminded me of the punk clubs I used to hang out at back in the day but still clean and super friendly staff that it didn't scare or intimidate my kids. Loved every second of my visit there!
He was a legit great person tried to greet everyone he could and made sure you were having a good experience. If you ever do make it down try sitting in the vw bus seat for the best overall experience but the burgers themselves will do the talking
Stood in line 30 to 45 minutes Every time I go to SD and wouldn't ever complain about it the burger is worth the wait you get to berger spelunk you take a bite and you see darkness and you come back up with a smile on your face rip hodad and good luck Jr keep your poppa proud
I like watching this one I do miss Mike cause he and guy had a great time every time they were together I really hope this place keeps going Shane keep it up I’m rooting for you
Grew up going down to OB all the time, I still remember shortly after this episode dropped everyone was talking about the DDD episode the lines were down the street for a while.
I like Hodad's burger build so much, that I build a lot of my homemade burgers the same way. I occasionally make the Beyond Burger, plant based patties are good for the environment. I built the Beyond Burger (which the patty size is about the same as two patties from Hodad's) in the same manner as Boss Man teaches in videos posted here on You Tube, I use the Sriracha brand of ketchup but other than that, everything else is the same. The best Beyond Meat burger that I've had to date is one built Hodad's style!.
It’s not good anymore. Maybe the pandemic and supply chains made it too expensive to make the same way, but basically the meat is extremely dry, probably frozen and put together with eggs probably. The bacon patty… i ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it barely any bacon on it at all. The. blue cheeseburger was basically just blue cheese taste because the meat was so bland. This is the original location in Ocean Beach. The one i had in downtown 10 years ago was insanely good… it changed
December 2024.
One of San Diego's longest lasting, family started, foodie institutions. Miss ya Mike. And keep on truckin', Shane👍❤️🇺🇸
Happy to know his son is carrying on his legacy. He took over since his dads passing
I was in shock when I seen he passed away but thats great his sun is keeping it going
That is good to hear, I'm sure he's there with him in spirit
ey that's awesome to know!
@@lucasdobson9278 p
I’ve met Shane. He’s just like his dad. Super chill but ensures the product you get is the best.
RIP Hodad now Hodad Jr is running it, good for him, keep the legends alive and pass it on to his son.
One of the most enjoyable episodes of DDD. My go to episode when I'm hungry and about to eat. Never disappointing!
Rest easy Mike, your legend will never die. The boss man Jr. Will keep it alive.
I love what the burger guy said when he said, " when I die if we get to come back I want to come back as me", ... those are the words of a man who is very very happy with his life and who he is and is very confident in himself....
Cudos brother
Unfortunately he died in 2015.
We ate here in 2019 when visiting family in SD from Scotland..., and back this year to visit again, and will certainly be back to eat the best burgers on the planet...:)
"He's been eating all his life I can tell"
That guy is hilarious
That boiled, then grilled bacon move is genius.
This dude was the real deal. If I ever get to San Diego, I’m going here. Glad to hear his son is running it
It's a tourist trap. Don't do it. So many better options
@@SSDB454 where do you go
@@michaelantonio2702Lol, Hodad’s is the real deal.
@@michaelantonio2702hodad’s is the real deal
The best spot in California! Hands down. Love the vibe. Love the people. Love this place. Love the surf. Great shit
these Burgers are still just as good as when The Boss Man was still alive.

Puck Rocker bless you🙏❤️😂
Just went to hodads this weekend it was the best I ever had. Loved it.
My brother in law used to work here! I love the blue jay burger and frings (fries and onion rings basket).
R.I.P Mike Hardin
Blue Jay is my jam! So fken good!
Love hodads form massachusetts but every time I'm in San Diego I visit and make sure I tip well
I met the Boss Man once when I was 8 years old. Very nice cool dude. I know he’s proud looking at his legacy he left here. RIP Boss Man
I'm sitting here watching Triple D & I had no idea this dude passed away 6 years ago. I'm kind of blown away.
*"Because.. as you know.. 90 percent of your taste buds are in your eyeballs!"*
This was one of the best I’ve seen as far as quality food and nice people
Shame he passed away. He was a genuine character who loved food😂
It's a shame I never get the honor to meet this awesome guy, let alone visit San Diego yet. If love to go to Hodads one day soon
He was a legit great person tried to greet everyone he could and made sure you were having a good experience. If you ever do make it down try sitting in the vw bus seat for the best overall experience but the burgers themselves will do the talking
I was so sad to hear about Mike's passing. Rest in peace 🙏 my brother. I'm happy they didn't close hodads .good for you
Stood in line 30 to 45 minutes Every time I go to SD and wouldn't ever complain about it the burger is worth the wait you get to berger spelunk you take a bite and you see darkness and you come back up with a smile on your face rip hodad and good luck Jr keep your poppa proud
He said in his next life he is coming back as himself...hits different since he's passed.
Last burger joint I went before the pandemic hit. It was also my first time there.
Can't wait to go back once this pandemic is over.
My mouth is watering.
I like watching this one I do miss Mike cause he and guy had a great time every time they were together I really hope this place keeps going Shane keep it up I’m rooting for you
One of my favorite people on DDD, Rip.
Hodad’s has awesome burgers and my favorite one is the bacon burger with grilled onions. Sooo good!
hahaha love hodads and he’s right first bite cant put the fuggin think down
I live there. Ever since he went there it has been packed
The Guido Burger was Amazing.. An Offering for the Soul.. Thank You..
got this too from seeing this ep
Grew up going down to OB all the time, I still remember shortly after this episode dropped everyone was talking about the DDD episode the lines were down the street for a while.
RIP. I had the honor of eating a Hodad's burger!.
RIP Hodaddy. This IS the best burger in America.
Why RIP? What happened??
@@thewalterandryanshow He passed away 5 years ago.
Not even the best burger in ocean beach...
Tip n Tuck? 3 stooge reference?
This guys really cool.
Love the chill ness
Looking great

Surfing is very hard,I swin with the bluefish

@@nutsinpuss9563no one cares
The One!!!
Hodads is legit... Best American burger I've ever had.
You should get out more, not even close to being the best burger.
@JP G Agree totally
@@JKahil Agree
I'm a lightweight. I can barely finish a single bacon cheeseburger and fries. Oh, and don't forget the milkshake.
milkshake? I can finish that easy.
Best burger I have ever had!!! Makes me miss San Diego!
Very nice.
Tried to go today. No parking. Homeless people everywhere around it. Next!
He’s like a doctor of burger
Love hodads
Just visited this place today. Very good guido burger!!!
Dude Od'd by my house.
Mike is pretty funny. He could do standup and do well.
We just witnessed guys first hunch. Or bulldogging should be a public holiday or something lol
I was thinking that, is this where Guy learned to do the hunch all those years ago
crispy boiled bacon strip mounds? Gamechanger for meat ratio taste boost. Why hasnt this been emulated by everyone yet?
I have gone to Hodad's once, I do like it. Bacon cheeseburger, delicious. BTW, this was after Guy visited a second time
Diners Drive-ins & Dives
I wonder if this is where 'the hunch' was born.
I love SD
Rip hodad
Jaboody dubs!
Dang that food looks good !
hi max!!.......
And then you watch Kitchen Nightmares and the people are lucky if they can boil water
I love those signs! Not one of them says anything about pants or shorts.
Damn... been 22 years since I ate there...
Now that's a burger !!!!
BEST BURGERS IN THE WORLD! It’s a MUST if you are in San Diego! Great service, great food, great beer!
One of the worst I've ever had
Guy was actually kind of skinny back then.
RIP to mike

Needs a new cutting board.
Guy doesn't know all!
How he pass
Never cared for the beach or dining in a sandy environment.
I too hate sand. It’s coarse and gets everywhere.
Pinche guy ..como la hace de pedo
I'm sorry about this guys passing, but this isn't even the best Burger in a 5 mile Radius. Go check out Rockys Crown Point. Not even close
I agree, hodads is good but rockys crown pub is definitely better, my top pick is the balboa off of 6th Ave
I agree it's not that good of a burger at all actually one of the worst I've ever had
Raw onions on a burger is nasty.
Worst burger I’ve ever ate! Tossed it in the trash right there on the beach. Show dropped the ball on this one.
Totally agree
You’re insane, this is the 2nd best burger I’ve ever had
every burger joint acts like they have the best burgers in the world
The productive request psychologically untidy because baritone predictably coach a a needy energy. handsomely, uttermost vulture
Doctor told him to stop all the Grease...
Sorry not a good burger as thin as paper all lettuce and tomato and onions got to give it a thumbs down
Whats better burger im assuming u gonna say whattaburger
this clip demonstrates what happens when two betas that think they are alphas collide
Such a good place but guy is such a d bag
How?
agreed
yeah how?
