Watertable wins my heart on so many levels

August 4, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

Watertable at the Hyatt Huntington Beach has been open around three months, and I’ve already visited seven times. To say I am falling in love with this place is an understatement. If you were a regular visitor of The Californian, you won’t recognize the space. There is not a shred of the former decade-old restaurant […]

the rebirth of Cafe 21 San Diego

July 10, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Those of you who have been following my blog know my immense love for Cafe 21. It is a love affair which begins several years ago, almost immediately in fact, after my first bite. As the years fly by, that location soon becomes a vital part of my life, providing so many fulfilling memories for my friends […]

a long awaited revisit to Quinn’s Old Town Grill

June 26, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

It’s been a long three and a half month wait, at least, for those of us in the know. Break of Dawn in Laguna Hills has had to relocate due to the plaza’s remodeling efforts. Yesterday, the restaurant finally opened its doors a few spaces down from the old spot where Chef Dee Nguyen had […]

memories are made at San Diego’s Bread & Cie

April 7, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 15 Comments

This post isn’t like any other I’ve ever written before. This involves hands-on experience I don’t ordinarily get from my day-to-day dealings with restaurants.

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.
