a round of applause for ADYA

June 5, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 19 Comments

It is highly refreshing to see an Indian eatery step outside of the box and bring something to Orange County that’s never been seen or tasted before (of course available all over Artesia/little India). ADYA, a new restaurant at Anaheim Packing House and brainchild of Chef Shachi Mehra brings a host of chaat, or Indian […]

I first experienced Fireside Tavern at its grand opening a few months ago. From the tidbits we sampled, I knew immediately that this new restaurant will be a winner. Why you might ask? Well, in my decades of experience, if the food you’re eating at a cocktail event, a wedding, or anything where food is […]

April 1, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 7 Comments

I’ve been to North Shore Poke twice now and am still craving it even as I’m writing this. The concept is simple so this post will be short. There are a handful of different styles of poke on offer, with specials on the board every day. The restaurant reminds me of how mom and pop […]

healthy eats at Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop

I recently visited Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop after seeing all my friends check in there on Facebook. I was confused. Is it a steak house? But “greenleaf” sounds vegetarian. All of my questions were answered when I walked inside and perused the menu. The simplest way to explain Greenleaf is “a fast casual version of True […]

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.
