The top "patty" is bacon!!!

“Under 99 billion sold” because “Cows taste good” boasts Hodad’s website.

I agree. Cows do taste good. That being said, listen here, I’m only going to say this once:

This is the best bacon burger in the world. Yes, the WORLD. If you haven’t been, you can’t argue the point. Go. I won’t wait for much of an argument. There’s never been one. While some may argue this burger is better than that one, as soon as you put bacon on it, there is no argument. It’s the best. Period.

There.

I said it.

The bacon on the burgers here borders on unreasonable. Rendered and then placed by the “tongful” on a flattop grill,  it is flattened and grilled until it becomes it’s own cripsy bacon patty. Adding it to a burger turns a single into a double. “Super sizing” food isn’t an “option” here. It comes that way; and it’s a good thing.

Hodad's VW bus table

Owned and operated by Mike “Boss Man” Hardin and Terry Rhodes and located in the coastal community of Ocean Beach in San Diego, Ca; this local standout isn’t much of a secret anymore. Upon entering, the atmosphere screams at you. This is a beach town. Vanity licence plates cover the walls. A VW bus turned booth with a makeshift table where the dashboard used to be make the interior truly unique. ”No shirt, No shoes, No problem,” reads a sign over the cash regiser. Everyone is welcome but bring your appetite. A basket containing a burger and fries will cost you around $11.00. You’ll start to feel full about half way through it but you won’t stop eating.

Offered in 3 sizes;  mini, single and double pick the one you think you have the appetite for but the must do is to do it with bacon. I’m lucky enough to live in San Diego but I would have no problem flying or even driving across the country for this burger.

This burger can turn a vegetarian.
