Hodad’s Mike "Bossman" Hardin Memorial
Join the Hodad’s family and friends to pay tribute to the “Unofficial Mayor of Ocean Beach,” Burgermeister “Bossman” Mike Hardin.
The Celebration of Life, coordinated by Hodad’s GM Jeremy Diem and Mike’s son and Hodad’s third-generation restaurateur Shane Hardin, is free and open to everyone who ever knew Mike or his burgers. The celebration includes presentations by Mike’s family and friends, a video tribute, and musical performances.
The unofficial mayor of Ocean Beach lived in San Diego since 1960 until his untimely passing last month. His parents opened the iconic Hodad’s in Ocean Beach that same year, which Mike took over in the 1980s and then expanded to a second venue downtown and a third in Petco Park. Mike’s bigger-than-life personality and charm landed Hodad’s on Guy Fieri's Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives several years ago, which helped put the burger joint and Ocean Beach on the international map.
