BRIO Tuscan Grille: a good addition to Irvine Spectrum

October 14, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 19 Comments

I like that Irvine Spectrum has been adding restaurants to its repertoire left, right, and center recently, however, not all the new eateries are right for this center. Keep in mind that this is a place where families congregate, where people bring their children, it is still surprising to me that not all the restaurants have […]

Tamarind of London: a new chef, a new beginning

September 25, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

There’s a reason why I have never written about Tamarind of London. It is not because I’ve never visited, quite the contrary actually. Through the years, with every chef change, and then some in between, I’ve always come and left, always feeling underwhelmed. Meals have been bland — yes, something that’s somewhat of a mystery […]

Istanbul Grill: straight up good food

September 22, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

When I received my September issue of Westways magazine (from AAA), I did my usual by flipping straight to the food section. This month’s feature was Istanbul Grill, a place I had not heard of.

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.
