the rarity that is Silver Trumpet

October 28, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I wasn’t sure what I’d find when my friend Austin of The Hungry Dogg blog asked me along to dinner one night at Silver Trumpet. Truth is, I had only recently heard about its existence but not much else other than it was in Costa Mesa. After visiting the website, I was quite impressed with […]

I had JUST gotten used to the lovely bites at Sorrento Grille’s happy hour menu and enjoying them when I heard it was closing its doors. I pouted and felt despondent for a little while until a little birdie told me that Chef Ryan Adams decided to take over the spot and launch his own […]

Taco Asylum

February 6, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Taco Asylum fits perfectly in the middle of The Camp. It’s hip, vibey, very happening and gets really busy during lunch time. I like to always wait a little while after a restaurant has opened before trying it out and even if I am invited to a preview, which I was, but wasn’t able to […]

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 […]

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.
