San Diego’s Las Cuatro Milpas is good and cheap

February 27, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 5 Comments

Rubios — fast food I eat from time to time

December 6, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 18 Comments

I don’t eat much fast food, but when I do, it’s always because my son is starving and needs food NOW! Even he is picky about which fast food places he eats at, and we have a few we stick to. Rubio’s is one of them. I recently ate at Rubio’s again after many years […]

enamored with dinners at Anepalco’s Cafe

September 13, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 28 Comments

September 11, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

No matter what the occasion is, Raya has always been a great joy to dine at. Call it the glorious view of the Pacific, call it the perfection of service, call it the delicious menu. No matter what you call it, the experience is always delightful. We came here for brunch several Sundays ago and […]

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.
