>Seasons 52 — a delicious way to watch your waistline

September 3, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

>I was definitely a little skeptical when I found out that the menu at Seasons 52 consists of nothing over 475 calories per item. However, if one was to open a so-called low calorie restaurant, then South Coast Plaza is definitely the ideal location with all the celebrities and OC ladies-who-lunch constantly swarming here to […]

>Ruby’s Diner — new fashion nostalgia

July 12, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

>In a cookie cutter city like Irvine, it is impossible to find an old school diner like those I love so much in LA, so, the only options are these chain diners like Ruby’s. Don’t get me wrong, I like Ruby’s, but there is no charm or character to it. Ruby’s is an excellent quick […]

>Yard House — a very happy hour

> Come to this little cafe on UCI campus and be prepared to pay! You also get complimentary baked goods such as raisin scones, banana bread and nut bread to pass the time waiting for your order. While other items definitely weren’t worth the price, the French toast (pictured) was unique in that it uses […]

>The Clubhouse — lunching ladies take note — CLOSED

> Orange County Restaurant Week is a really good chance for you to try some of these restaurants. We did! 3-course lunch or 4-course dinner at $20/$30 respectively — I really loved my pecan-crusted tilapia (pictured)entree, fish was cooked perfectly, moist and tender with a nice crunchy exterior from the pecan and breadcrumbs. The vodka […]

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.
