underwhelming first visit to Picca

September 6, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’d heard about this place for a long time now so while up in LA, we decided to hit up Picca. The restaurant is small and it was pretty packed, but we managed to find seats at the bar and immediately proceeded to order some drinks. We started with The Zarate Kid (12) single village […]

a meal for the Animal in you

March 21, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 7 Comments

It’s been several years since I last visited Animal. I never wrote about it because my photos didn’t come out the last time and I never post anything without at least reasonably clear photos. On this trip, I made sure to bring my good camera, plus lighting because I remembered how dark it was in the […]

a charming spot in Beverly Hills

A hopping good time at La Guelaguetza

September 11, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I’ve been wanting to try La Guelaguetza for months now ever since I met its owner Bricia Lopez at LudoBites 2011 where she was seated at a table next to our’s enjoying dinner with her mother. However, getting up to LA is always so much trouble and although it had always been at the back […]

Lackluster re-visit to Bottega Louie

July 10, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I was last at Bottega Louie — too long I might add. We were up in LA recently and were actually in the vicinity and decided to pop by for a late lunch/early dinner. I’ve always loved Bottega Louie’s dining room with its high ceilings and clean, minimalistic feel. Everyone […]

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.
