Take a look at this Sonic the Hedgehog pop-up restaurant near the San Diego Comic-Con

It's called the "Sonic Speed Cafe", a Sonic the Hedgehog pop-up restaurant that will be opening near the grounds of the 2023 San Diego Comic-Con International.

The collaboration between SEGA of America and Secret Sauce Society's Andy Nguyen will serve several Sonic-themed foods, drinks, and even exclusive memorabilia.

What's on the menu?

Among the food served is Sonic's iconic Chili Dog and other tasty treats like the "Knuckles Sandwich," a crispy fried chicken sandwich, and "The Evil Genius" egg salad sandwich.

Several drinks are served as well, including Sonic's blueberry slushy, Knuckles' cherry slushy, Tails' mango orange slushy, and Shadow's mocha milkshake.

Times and location

The "Sonic Speed Cafe" is located at 910 J Street in San Diego, California, taking over what used to be a Chick'nCone establishment, according to the SDCC Unofficial Blog, an independent expo documentarian.

The soft launch will begin on 13 July through 18 July, with regular hours scheduled between 11 am to 9 pm Pacific Time.

Meanwhile, Comic-Con hours will kick off after the grand opening on 19 July through 23 July, between 11 am to midnight Pacific Time.

Regular hours will resume 24 July to the final operating date, 20 August 2023.

Sonic opinion time!

So, I had to leave the stream during the Sonic Team Q&A because I was burning through data. So, the stream was terrible. I could barely hear the actual event over that ungodly buzzing, the audio/video kept cutting out, and the buffering, dear God, the buffering. But, we got some pretty cool stuff! First: Sonic Mania. This is a pretty good idea for a game. I loved the iOS ports of Sonic 1 & 2, so seeing that Christian Whitehead is heading (lol) the development is cool. It's great that he gets to work with SEGA and get his name out there. Second: Sonic X Hello Kitty. Eh. It's cool. Third: Sonic X Lego Dimensions. Now we're talking. Sonic looks so animated and full of personality. His play style seems to be different from the other characters, and seeing all those classic stages in the adventure world was breathtaking. But who cares? We can have SONIC in the TARDIS! Fourth: Sonic 2017. This was the big one. The game looks promising enough, with a seemingly darker tone than the other games. Maybe this is what they brought Alex Hirsch into SEGA for? Like, maybe he's on the writing team. I do think bringing Classic Sonic in again is a bit redundant, since this apparently isn't a Generations sequel. Eh, it'll probably still be good. Fifth: Music stuff. Hyper Potions has some pretty lit remixes, but it dragged on for way too long. Crush 40 killed it. But is it me, or do Johnny and Jun sound like they're getting on in years? Sixth: Aaron Webber. He's hilarious. Enough said. That's about everything I caught. Apparently there was some Boom stuff I missed? I can't find it anywhere.

Sonic Mania looks fucking georgous and amazing and I want to play it now

This sonic stream is some weird post-modern contemporary live performance piece that’s both nothing and the most engaging thing in my life right now
