comfort food at Elbows

October 17, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It was so ironic that my son had asked me if we could visit the mac n cheese place we went to years ago. He was craving it he said and I had to crush his hopes because I told him Artesia was too far away. Fast forward two weeks later and a friend of […]

a taste of Italy at Bruno’s Trattoria

November 15, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 12 Comments

Brea has been getting some great eateries this year and the latest addition is a lovely Italian place called Bruno’s Trattoria. We were invited for a preview of what the restaurant has to offer and I was delightfully surprised by what we tasted. We started with an Antipasto Platter consisting of Arancini risotto balls filled […]

If you’re ever looking for a place to spend a fun Sunday at, look no further than Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen in Brea.

Bruxie opens 2nd location in Brea

November 25, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Ahhhh what can I say about Bruxie that hasn’t been said already? The original Orange location is an institution and now, with its second bigger flashier location in  Brea, you know they’re here to stay! The waffle-like exterior is impressive, standing out among the chain stores and chain restaurants in the area. The garage-feel is […]

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.
