Scarlet is a new South County gem

February 14, 2020 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Scarlet Kitchen & Bar opened in Ladera Ranch less than two months ago. I was invited to a media dinner, and then returned with a friend shortly after that initial visit. While Scarlet is tucked away in the corner of a non-descript shopping center, it is apparent that the restaurant is anything but covert. Both […]

Burnt Crumbs is THE place to be this weekend!

January 31, 2020 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

We are huge fans of Burntzilla but we’ve never been to Burnt Crumbs until now. This fast-casual concept located at Los Olivos Marketplace, by Irvine spectrum Center, features a host of favorites including a rendition of the fried chicken slider from Burntzilla. Fried Chicken ($9.50) starts with a house biscuit cut in half, then smeared […]

tacos for breakfast, lunch or dinner

I’m sitting here, in the new year, craving tacos! Yes, tacos. It’s not like I don’t eat them regularly, because, I do! I absolutely do! However it’s made me think about where I typically go to grab tacos when I’m hankering for them. Since my son found this taco truck last year, we’ve been visiting […]

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.
