Sea and Smoke — San Diego

June 23, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I had seen friends posting about Sea & Smoke for quite a while now, so on a recently visit to San Diego, we decided to stop in for dinner to check it out. It is right off the 5 freeway in Del Mar in a plaza I’m quite familiar with. The restaurant is impressive which puzzles […]

celebrations at Habana

June 19, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

It is a little shocking that I’m not able to find a website for Habana in this day and age. I’ll have to admit, it’s been many years since I was last here. In fact, I’m thinking more than six years ago, perhaps, even longer. I remember my that meal, with a friend from San Francisco who asked […]

a new dawn has broken

June 16, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

incredible fare at Pinot Provence

June 12, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

It saddens me to see how empty Pinot Provence is on the evening of our visit. I’ve always loved this restaurant, the service, its menu, albeit the decor is dated and in dire need of a make-over. However, I don’t need decor to enjoy great food and Executive Chef Alfonso Ramirez definitely excels in this department. […]

Rakiraki revisited

June 9, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It’s been over a year since I first encountered Rakiraki on a trip to San Diego. If I had to sum this eatery up in a sentence, it would be “love at first bite”. Since then I’ve been back several times whenever I get the opportunity. Driving to San Diego always means a bowl of ramen at […]

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
