Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage tells the whole story: a tall double cheeseburger stacked with lettuce, tomato and onion beside a basket of fries, Roger two-handing the burger, and a metal shake cup overflowing with Neapolitan ice cream and chocolate drizzle.

This is Hodad’s at its most Hodad’s — big, messy and unapologetic. The caption’s own hashtags, food coma and heart attack, are the honest review: a once-in-a-while indulgence rather than an everyday lunch.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • A towering double cheeseburger
  • An overflowing Neapolitan milkshake
  • Big, messy, classic San Diego burger energy

Bottom line

Archive verdict

An over-the-top San Diego burger-and-shake classic, best approached with a big appetite and no plans afterward.
