a highly respectable menu at Fireside Tavern

May 19, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I first experienced Fireside Tavern at its grand opening a few months ago. From the tidbits we sampled, I knew immediately that this new restaurant will be a winner. Why you might ask? Well, in my decades of experience, if the food you’re eating at a cocktail event, a wedding, or anything where food is […]

Book of Mormon menu at Leatherby’s

May 15, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’ve been wanting to see Book of Mormon for years now. I had planned on purchasing tickets for a show in New York a few years ago but not everyone in my party was eager to spend the money, so we ended up not going. It was then up in LA, but I didn’t want to drive […]

a touch of Europe at The Globe Belgian Gastropub

May 12, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Two years ago, I was looking for a spot to dine with an out-of-town visitor who was staying nearby. After consulting Yelp, I decided on The Globe in Garden Grove and we ventured out here for dinner. I remember some of the food being good, some not, but what blew me away was the incredible […]

True story… I thought Teemu Selanne was Samoan. Going off the name, I seriously thought he was Samoan. Then, I was told he is Finnish. Boy did I feel stupid. From everything I’ve heard, Teemu Selanne is a class act, and so many of my friends have been raving about his Laguna restaurant, Selanne Steak […]

spring menu at A Restaurant + Mother’s Day brunch

May 5, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Even though I posted about A Restaurant not so long ago, I wanted to showcase its new spring menu which is now available. To me, Jon Blackford is a chef who has all the talent in the world, is a crazy great cook and everyone needs to know that! I still can’t believe it when people tell me […]

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.
