Toast Enoteca — San Diego

December 10, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

On a recent trip to San Diego, we stopped by Toast Enoteca for some dinner. It is technically a wine shop/bar with a restaurant attached so you can either purchase the wine to take home, or enjoy the wine on the premises. If you decide to drink the wine at the restaurant, there is a $7 […]

Brick Pizzeria: not just a pizza joint

December 4, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I first encountered Brick Pizzeria at the Orange Coast Magazine’s 10 Best Restaurants event this year. There wasn’t any food to try that evening, so I moved along and didn’t pay much thought to it.

As usual, my skepticism sets in when I hear “Italian”, despite the fact that lately, I have been pleasantly surprised by places I’ve come across. Spagettini isn’t at all how I imagined in my mind. In fact, my preconceived notions of the restaurant was not at all accurate. Because the restaurant is a hub for jazz […]

Italian, old school

I’m usually disappointed by so many Italian restaurants serving mediocre cuisine, however after my meal at Solare, I can safely say, this place has won me over, with a stellar menu and a very passionate Italian chef to boot. I arrive for a late lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in quite some time. He tells […]

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.
