A special tribute to Ocean Beach burger legend Mike “Bossman” Hardin will take place 11:11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at Petco Park\u2019s Park in the Park, 100 Park Blvd. Hodad\u2019s family and friends will pay tribute to the “Unofficial Mayor of Ocean Beach,” Burgermeister and Bossman Hardin.
\nThe celebration of life, coordinated by Hodad\u2019s general manager Jeremy Diem, and Mike\u2019s son, and Hodad\u2019s third generation restauranteur, Shane Hardin, is free and open to everyone who ever knew Mike or knew his burgers. The celebration will include presentations by Mike\u2019s family and friends, a special video tribute and musical performances.
\nHardin lived in San Diego since 1960, until his untimely passing last month. His parents opened the iconic Hodad\u2019s 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\u2019s bigger than life personality and charm landed Hodad\u2019s on Guy Fieri’s “Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives” several years ago, which helped put the burger joint and Ocean Beach on the national map.
