fall menu items at Fig & Olive

October 10, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Each season, Fig & Olive features new menu items reflecting the abundance of the new bounty. The food has always been safe, staying within the confines of what Newport Beach will accept. For me, it is a tad boring and never has that “wow-factor”, but that’s changed with the launch of some fall menu items […]

Tamarind of London: a new chef, a new beginning

September 25, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

There’s a reason why I have never written about Tamarind of London. It is not because I’ve never visited, quite the contrary actually. Through the years, with every chef change, and then some in between, I’ve always come and left, always feeling underwhelmed. Meals have been bland — yes, something that’s somewhat of a mystery […]

incredible fare at Pinot Provence

June 12, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

It saddens me to see how empty Pinot Provence is on the evening of our visit. I’ve always loved this restaurant, the service, its menu, albeit the decor is dated and in dire need of a make-over. However, I don’t need decor to enjoy great food and Executive Chef Alfonso Ramirez definitely excels in this department. […]

Book of Mormon menu at Leatherby’s

May 15, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’ve been wanting to see Book of Mormon for years now. I had planned on purchasing tickets for a show in New York a few years ago but not everyone in my party was eager to spend the money, so we ended up not going. It was then up in LA, but I didn’t want to drive […]

Selanne Steak Tavern is a definite winner

May 8, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

True story… I thought Teemu Selanne was Samoan. Going off the name, I seriously thought he was Samoan. Then, I was told he is Finnish. Boy did I feel stupid. From everything I’ve heard, Teemu Selanne is a class act, and so many of my friends have been raving about his Laguna restaurant, Selanne Steak […]

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.
