April 9, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

A few Sundays ago, a group of my foodie friends and I got together to try this pop-up breakfast/brunch spot near South Coast Plaza. I’ve been to Thasos Mediterranean restaurant before, but didn’t even know that a pop-up had started by Chef Nathaniel Nguyen. The menu is small, but enough choices with great items for […]

Islands is not just about burgers

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an Islands. It’s funny because even though they are known for burgers, I usually get something else whenever I go with my friends who want burgers. On this recent trip, I went with my son who loves burgers. We arrived early evening and happy hour was […]

For someone who doesn’t eat a lot of burgers, I’ve been having plenty lately and am posting back to back burger posts with Smashburger last week and now, Burger Lounge. I’ve seen it often whenever I’m down in San Diego and my friends would say “let’s go try it” and I always say “next time”. […]

Smashburger: a very pleasant surprise

I’ll have to admit, I’m not a big burger kinda gal. I never crave them, but my son does and when Austin and I dine out together, he likes to order burgers whenever he sees them on the menu When I first heard about Smashburger, I was rather skeptical since there have been a bunch […]

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.
