Sea and Smoke — San Diego

June 23, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I had seen friends posting about Sea & Smoke for quite a while now, so on a recently visit to San Diego, we decided to stop in for dinner to check it out. It is right off the 5 freeway in Del Mar in a plaza I’m quite familiar with. The restaurant is impressive which puzzles […]

a wonderful experience at James Republic

May 1, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

We have been wanting to visit James Republic ever since it opened. I don’t know why we haven’t sooner except for the fact that it’s in Long Beach and I’m lame when it comes to traveling out of Orange County even though it’s really not THAT far. We used the excuse of Long Beach Restaurant […]

Bestia is well worth the drive to LA for

January 28, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Bestia is no stranger to accolades and last year, appeared in almost every single “best of” lists of restaurants in LA.

January 21, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

We have been waiting to dine at Ink for as long as it’s been open. Again, we’re so late to the game but the restaurant is still a popular one and the restaurant is packed and bustling on the night of our visit. Our server was really awesome and I must preface by saying, the […]

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.
