February 2, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 22 Comments

I’m a huge fan of Pizzeria Ortica, not only because they have excellent pizza, but their small plates, lunch specials and entrees in general have always been consistently good. To add a new twist into the mix, the restaurant has included Italian Suppers to its repertoire. These are meant to be shared family style with […]

TusCa — new chef new menu

December 21, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 14 Comments

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.
