SDCC 2018: Marvel, Star Wars & Other Comic-Con Inspired Dishes & Drinks Debut in the Gaslamp Quarter By Christina Bravo
San Diego Comic-Con 2018 is upon us and soon, the streets of Downtown San Diego will be flooded with locals and out-of-towners alike donning their superhero best.
And while those superheroes may be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and take out the most evil of villains, the restaurants of the Gaslamp Quarter know they also get hungry.
Here are some pop-culture inspired dishes and drinks coming to downtown San Diego's eateries for SDCC 2018.

The US Grant Hotel held the first San Diego Comic-Con in 1970, so it's only natural the hotel would join in the festivities. The Grant Grill, located inside the hotel across from Westfield Horton Plaza on Broadway, has a series of cocktails inspired by Dr. Strange's ally, Brother Voodoo.
