Taco Asylum fits perfectly in the middle of The Camp. It’s hip, vibey, very happening and gets really busy during lunch time. I like to always wait a little while after a restaurant has opened before trying it out and even if I am invited to a preview, which I was, but wasn’t able to […]

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.
