a stunningly eclectic cafe in San Diego

Z Cafe’s unveils new menu items

August 21, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

This fast casual spot at South Coast Plaza’s Crystal Court is one of my son’s favorites. He loves the pizzas AND the salads. In fact, he can polish off a pizza, salad as well as a few garlic knots all on his own. I was invited to taste the new menu items recently and was […]

July 19, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 14 Comments

I’ve been visiting the Island Hotel on and off for a few years now for different events, both food related and non-food related. Therefore, it is just mind-boggling that I had never visited Palm Terrace for a meal until now. But it is just as well that I waited since Chef David Man has since […]

The Ranch doesn’t kid around when they say farm-to-table

July 17, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 6 Comments

In my 20+ years as a food writer/critic, I’ve been invited to a myriad of events, meals, experiences on different continents even. Some I wish to forget, but others, will remain etched on my memory for years to come. This is one of them. But I must warn you, this review is long, but deemed […]

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.
