Hawaiian or Argentinean? you be the judge!

July 5, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been at least six or seven years ago since I was last at The Royal Hawaiian. It had closed for some time, but now, Chef Maro Molteni (of Maro’s Wood Grill fame) has taken over the space, and I was very interested to see what he’s done to the place. In all fairness, I […]

fun, all day dining at TOAST Kitchen & Bakery

June 28, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been a little while since I was last at TOAST, and it is the first time I’m trying out their lunch/dinner menu. Previously, I had only tried their breakfast menu. Some of the menu items have remained, and some have rotated out. You’ll find this a regular occurrence here as seasons change and the […]

Verdant + Vernal pop-up — San Clemente

June 14, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Several months ago, I attended a Verdant +Vernal pop-up at The Cellar in San Clemente. The brainchild of Chef Tony Trujillo, the predominantly vegetarian menu was innovative and creative with bright, in-season produce featured across the board. On Monday, June 24 (cancelled will be rescheduled for July), Verdant + Vernal returns to The Cellar with […]

a very LIT Cafe in Anaheim

June 7, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Anaheim is not a city I frequently travel to, but after a visit to recently opened LIT Cafe, I’d say, I may have to make that trip more frequently. Nestled in an unassuming strip mall, LIT Cafe is a minimalist space which is both comfortable and relaxing. I noticed electrical outlets under the banquette seating, […]

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.
