Habuya Okinawan Dining

June 18, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I’ve been here twice. The first was for lunch — a rather unmemorable meal — and more recently, dinner. I had heard from friends that dinner is so much better and wanted to check it out for myself. We arrived around 7pm and it wasn’t super crowded. I quickly went ahead and ordered a bunch […]

TAPS Irvine debuts with a big bang

June 8, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I’ve waited a long time for TAPS to open closer to me. I’ve been to the Brea location many times, but only for brunch. I’ve never ordered off the a la carte menu there, so have nothing to go by except the stellar Sunday brunch they serve. TAPS Irvine opens today in the old Bucca […]

Settebello has found its place at Crystal Cove

June 5, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

Crystal Cove is home to many restaurants, and Settebello is one of the newer ones there.  I’ve tried coming here several times ever since it opened almost a year ago. The first time I arrived at 11am with a friend, to find they do not open until noon. Another time, we get here and my friend isn’t in […]

As the seasons change, so do menus at restaurants offering menus dictated by what’s available right now. At Fig & Olive, it is no different. On a recent trip there, we try some new menu items perfect for the warmer weather. Start with some cocktails such as The Fig & Olive ($12), an organic cucumber vodka with […]

Leatherby’s ANNIE pre theater menu

May 15, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Whenever we go to a show at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, we will most often than not, eat at Leatherby’s Cafe Rouge beforehand. Before attending a showing of ANNIE this week, we stopped by and dined on dishes Chef Ross Pangilinan creates especially for each show. I honestly believe you should visit Leatherby’s during the run […]

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.
