This month, the Island Hotel reprises its highly popular Cocoa Lounge at Palm Terrace restaurant to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This dessert buffet promises and delivers everything chocolate and, those who have a weakness for anything deliciously sweet will not want to miss it. Executive Pastry Chef Michael Owens once again, along with his team, has […]

new fall items at True Food Kitchen

October 31, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I love True Food Kitchen and am always kicking myself for not visiting more often. I love the natural colors of the interior and the clean, fresh decor of the interior. Everyone here has that healthy, sun-kissed look about them and it is befitting seeing the menu is organic, fresh and always prepared in the […]

I’ve been a huge fan of Chef Jacquelyn Nabong, way before I even met her in person, which is, recently at the Tommy Bahaha Wine Dinner featuring Master Sommelier Peter Neptune with a menu created by Executive Chef Jacquelyn Nabong. The setting was beautiful, with community tables set up on the outside patio. The weather […]

Love the haute spot but food is average

It’s been so many years since I last visited Haute Cakes Caffe and I needed a refresher visit. When I arrived, I remembered it right away — nothing had changed — and the cute patio was still there, as well as the communal table I love so much. We placed our orders and went to […]

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.
