July 17, 2020 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I’ve been pretty much sheltering in place since mid-March. I do this because I am in the high risk category, and I am doing my best to keep safe and healthy. Being at home means I’ve pretty much been cooking my own meals (which has been awesome) and getting take-out every so often. I’m still […]

Scarlet is a new South County gem

February 14, 2020 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Scarlet Kitchen & Bar opened in Ladera Ranch less than two months ago. I was invited to a media dinner, and then returned with a friend shortly after that initial visit. While Scarlet is tucked away in the corner of a non-descript shopping center, it is apparent that the restaurant is anything but covert. Both […]

Burnt Crumbs is THE place to be this weekend!

I’d been a huge fan of Chef Renzo Macchiavello’s ever since the first time I ate at his restaurant, Renzo’s A Taste of Peru, a decade ago. A friend brought me to the restaurant, and I loved it so much, it became the first article I wrote in the Orange County Register. Several years later, […]

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.
