>Valhalla Table — sausage and beer

February 21, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

> The idea of a Gastropub culture has only started to hit California and once that phenomena dropped its claws, these beer drinking establishments which serves food has sprung up like weeds. My last review, though posted months ago, was on Haven Gastropub in Orange, CA and since then, Valhalla Table has cropped up serving […]

>The Clubhouse — lunching ladies take note — CLOSED

> Orange County Restaurant Week is a really good chance for you to try some of these restaurants. We did! 3-course lunch or 4-course dinner at $20/$30 respectively — I really loved my pecan-crusted tilapia (pictured)entree, fish was cooked perfectly, moist and tender with a nice crunchy exterior from the pecan and breadcrumbs.

>Pizzeria Ortica — pizza at its finest in OC

> Surprisingly, it’s possible to find decent pizza in OC. I mean it’s not quite pizza in Italy, or NY for that matter, but it’s pretty decent for OC. Not too many toppings to bog the crust down and the best part is the pizza is thin with poufy sides. If you’re able to order […]

> I’d always thought I’d miss eating red meat, but after a month of not using it as the main focus of my meal, I can honestly say, I don’t really think about it too much anymore. In fact, I’ve been quite enjoying the vegetarian options available out there, one of which has been the […]

>Daikokuya — ramen anyone?

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.
