a taste of home at Pie Not

August 13, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Living in Australia, getting a sausage roll or a meat pie was always something uni (college) kids got after a night of drinking. My parents, who are immigrants, never got a taste for them, so I would grab them with my friends whenever we were in the city. It’s been years since I’ve had a […]

sammies and more at Big Belly Deli

August 8, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 13 Comments

Austin and I have driven past Big Belly Deli off PCH so many times and keep reminding ourselves that we need to visit. So when our friend Selene suggested we have lunch there, we were all for it! I didn’t know there was another location in Costa Mesa, but that was the one we went […]

My friend Brenda loves food just like me, and whenever we lunch, sushi is generally the food of choice. Although it’s been only about a week since Brenda’s last visit, it’s been a while since mine and I was happy to see Chef James Hamamori in good spirits and jokingly cheerful as I take photos […]

my mouth salivates for SideCar Doughnuts

Last year, on designated Saturday mornings, some of us congregated at the test kitchen of SideCar Doughnuts, standing in line to taste something those of us who have been to Portland, OR, or New York City have already had a taste of (Voodoo and Doughnut Plant). Sure, there are the M&M Donuts, and the Donut […]

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.
