February 24, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

A friend of mine’s birthday falls right around Orange County Restaurant Week, so every year, whenever it came time to celebrate, we have always chosen a restaurant participating in this event. Two years ago, we celebrated at The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon, which had only been opened a few months at the time of Restaurant […]

the best Italian in Orange County

February 20, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 5 Comments

*****I apologize ahead of time for the less than perfect photos in this post***** It’s been a year since I last visited Maré Culinary Lounge, but I have not forgotten about it. They even made it onto my “best of 2013” list and in my book, it is still the best Italian restaurant in Orange […]

A Restaurant is a perfect modern classic

February 18, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I didn’t expect Alchemy to be situated within a residential area. I had heard things about it leading me to believe that it was in a bustling part of downtown (yeah, I am not familiar with San Diego at all) but then we found ourselves driving into the Golden Hill/South Park neighborhood. The cute homes […]

A Valentine’s dinner featuring LXV wines

February 11, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

We recently drove up to LA to check out some wines from a relatively new winery in Paso Robles — LXV Wine. The line of wines are based on the Kama Sutra — and before you start rolling your eyes, read the rest of the paragraph first — which I only found out at the […]

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.
