Being a fan of SideDoor in Corona del Mar, I was rather excited to check out one of the Lawry’s original restaurants, Tam O’Shanter, a 92 year old establishment still in its original location. We were invited in to try the new charcuterie launched recently, and knowing the level of SideDoor’s charcuterie, I knew it was […]

Early Bird’s tasty dinner menu launches tomorrow!

It’s been several years since I last visited Animal. I never wrote about it because my photos didn’t come out the last time and I never post anything without at least reasonably clear photos. On this trip, I made sure to bring my good camera, plus lighting because I remembered how dark it was in the […]

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.
