a relaxed atmosphere at Gauchos Village — Glendale

April 13, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I am not often in the Glendale area, however, on this particular day, I’m here with a friend and we stop in to Gauchos Village for a quick lunch. It’s been years since I last visit a Brazilian churrascaria, so it is definitely time to indulge in some barbecue! Most churrascarias I’ve been to tend to lean […]

new contender Saint & Second in Long Beach is here to stay

April 8, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I have been hearing Saint & Second on several people’s lips of late. As usual, I try not to read too much about restaurants before visiting, so not to tarnish my own view, with other people’s perceptions. Long Beach is always a little trying when it comes to parking, however, we are extremely lucky and […]

Akatora — Manhattan Beach

Recently, I visit Akatora, a lovely Japanese eatery in Manhattan Beach serving beautifully crafted food. I’m always wary when I have to come to tourist-friendly destinations due to parking, but there […]

It is always interesting to venture into a city you’re not all that familiar with, and find something delicious there. This is the case when we find ourselves at Luna Estrella, a little Mexican restaurant in Whittier. Located in a quiet strip mall, it is only one of a few businesses open at night. It […]

Roxanne’s & a not-so-secret speakeasy: Exhibition Room

February 26, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

When my friend says to me “we’re going to this place in Long Beach,” all I do is comply. I have no pre-conceived notions, nor do I have any inclinations as to what it is we’re doing. I place my trust in him, that I’ll have a good time. As we step inside Roxanne’s, a […]

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.
