Looking for a romantic spot which also offers some fantastic food? Look no further than the Patina Group’s Cafe Pinot in downtown Los Angeles. In between the offices and business towers sits an unassuming restaurant which you would easily drive right past if you weren’t looking for it. We had reservations at 7.30pm and were […]

>Cafe La Boheme — goth at its finest

October 15, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman 7 Comments

> Whenever I write a review of anything to do with desserts or anything sweet, I always preface by saying “I’m not a fan of sweets” just so it’s clear in case there was any misunderstanding in the way I rate or write my review. Stan’s Doughnuts gets that exact same courtesy! My sweet-toothed friend […]

>Mio Babbo’s — your average American style Italian

September 7, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

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.
