Watertable wins my heart on so many levels

August 4, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

Watertable at the Hyatt Huntington Beach has been open around three months, and I’ve already visited seven times. To say I am falling in love with this place is an understatement. If you were a regular visitor of The Californian, you won’t recognize the space. There is not a shred of the former decade-old restaurant […]

a new dawn has broken

It’s been a long three and a half month wait, at least, for those of us in the know. Break of Dawn in Laguna Hills has had to relocate due to the plaza’s remodeling efforts. Yesterday, the restaurant finally opened its doors a few spaces down from the old spot where Chef Dee Nguyen had […]

Book of Mormon menu at Leatherby’s

Even though I posted about A Restaurant not so long ago, I wanted to showcase its new spring menu which is now available. To me, Jon Blackford is a chef who has all the talent in the world, is a crazy great cook and everyone needs to know that! I still can’t believe it when people tell me […]

A Restaurant is a perfect modern classic

February 18, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I’ve been to A Restaurant many times in the past, but always during dinner. The restaurant is so dimly lit I’ve never been happy with the library of photos I’ve acquired so I’ve never written about it. Therefore, it was incredibly lucky that Chef Jon Blackford agreed to indulge me in my request to visit […]

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.
