The best of San Diego: Four must-try snacks

One of the things Warren Van Dam loves about San Diego is that it is a city for foodies. There is always something for everyone regardless of their lifestyle or preference for food. The blogger shares four must-try snacks everyone must try when they're in the city.

Hodad's double bacon cheeseburger

Since the '70s, Hodad's has been a place locals frequent for comfort food. Through the years, the franchise grew and now has several locations across the city. While there are many sizes and types of burgers to choose from, the hungry and brave ones can go for the double bacon cheeseburger for a well-deserved treat. Of course, adding fries and a milkshake will make the experience even better.

The Baked Bear's custom-made ice cream sandwich

An ice cream sandwich is always a great snack idea. Warren Van Dam enjoys mixing the different flavors and toppings that will go in between the cookie or brownie. For those who will try their ice cream for the first time, the bear batter and cookie dough flavors are a good place to start. There are also vegan and gluten-free options available.

Lolita's carne asada fries

Many items to try at this restaurant, but many come back for the carne asada fries. The toppings are generous, and foodies will enjoy the combination of flavors from the cheese to the salsa. While many people have made their own spin on this recipe, Warren Van Dam says nothing beats Lolita's. Add tacos or burritos for maximum enjoyment.

Donut Bar's creme brulee donut

First-time visitors to San Diego will soon understand why there's a long line at the shop. While there are many flavors available daily, creme brulee is a must-try. The silky, sugary glaze and the rich custard filling are an instant mood booster. But, sometimes, it's not enough to have just one piece of the crowd's favorite flavor.
