Several weeks ago, a group of friends and I made the drive up to LA to check out Pizzana, a gourmet pizzeria (there are two locations) which was recently awarded one star by Michelin Guide. A friend of ours set up reservations at the West Hollywood location — full disclosure, she’s friends with the chef […]

a whimsical adventure at Fable & Spirit

July 19, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It isn’t surprising that I fell in love with Fable & Spirit the moment I stepped inside. From the moment I pulled open the Georgian-gold door with the rabbit door knocker, to the wonderland effect of stepping into the splendid interior, I felt I was being transported into a different world. My eyes darted around […]

July 12, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a preview of the new summer menu at Memphis Cafe in Costa Mesa. I’ve been following Chef Diego Velasco for almost a decade, and through the years, I’ve observed his many incarnations, and I can truly say, right now, Chef Diego is at the best he’s […]

It’s been at least six or seven years ago since I was last at The Royal Hawaiian. It had closed for some time, but now, Chef Maro Molteni (of Maro’s Wood Grill fame) has taken over the space, and I was very interested to see what he’s done to the place. In all fairness, I […]

fun, all day dining at TOAST Kitchen & Bakery

June 28, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

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.
