get READY for some Rooster PM

July 18, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

Rooster Cafe does a good job for breakfast, but what I have been enamoured with has been the little pop-ups which have taken over the space in the evenings starting with Hidden Kitchen. In fact, I celebrated my birthday at Hidden Kitchen that year and enjoyed it several times before it closed its doors. Then, […]

Say “kanpai” to a worthy OC izakaya

July 7, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of Honda-Ya preferring its sister Kappo-Honda whenever I am hankering for izakaya fare. So needless to say, when I found Meijiya in Costa Mesa, I was tickled, mainly because I didn’t know about it before — even though they’d been open about a year — but also because they […]

Sage Cafe is a secret no more

June 6, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

May 14, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

When I moved to southern California four and a half years ago I had heard of Picnics and at the time made a mental note to myself that I had to visit. Naturally I forgot about it, then reminded myself again, made a note, forgot about it. Recently, Selene suggested Picnics for lunch and I […]

Prix fixe at Charlie Palmer

May 3, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

If you are like me, then you have the perception that Charlie Palmer is a spot usually set aside for special occasions. The restaurant is trendy and dining room comfortable without being stuffy. The happy hour atmosphere is bustling and probably one of the best in town, but I rarely step foot into the dining […]

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.
