September 16, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

It’s been a while since I last was at Coffee Tea and Tulips, but after Chef Michael Samawi gave his restaurant a little makeover, and updated his menu for fall, it was time for a visit. I like that everything here is home-made, and Chef Michael takes a lot of pride in his creations from […]

Urban Grill in San Diego’s Gaslamp district

September 14, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I drive by Urban Grill in the Gaslamp district quite often whenever I’m in San Diego and often wondered what it was all about, so when they invited me in for a visit, I was keen to give them a try. The restaurant itself is separated into two sections with one side offering full bar service. […]

Bagels & Brew and much much more

September 12, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 24 Comments

I’ve never been a coffee drinker, and I rarely eat bagels, so when I saw Bagels & Brew, it never dawned on me to give them a try. It wasn’t until my friend suggested we have lunch here that I actually found what that this place was SO much more than just coffee and bagels. […]

Being a fan of SideDoor in Corona del Mar, I was rather excited to check out one of the Lawry’s original restaurants, Tam O’Shanter, a 92 year old establishment still in its original location. We were invited in to try the new charcuterie launched recently, and knowing the level of SideDoor’s charcuterie, I knew it was […]

underwhelming first visit to Picca

September 6, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’d heard about this place for a long time now so while up in LA, we decided to hit up Picca. The restaurant is small and it was pretty packed, but we managed to find seats at the bar and immediately proceeded to order some drinks. We started with The Zarate Kid (12) single village […]

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.
