I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting restaurants, so when my friend wanted to go to Trenta for her birthday, I jumped at the opportunity. Several weeks later, we gathered a group and went back for brunch. Trenta is a little restaurant tucked away off Superior Ave in Costa Mesa, on a street […]

August 2, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

The new summer menu at Five Crowns is one of the best to date, since Executive Chef Alejandra Parilla joined the team. The dishes use creative, seasonal ingredients featuring the best of what’s available on the market today. One of our favorites is Grilled Colorado Lamb Ribs ($21).

My eyes darted around […]

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.
