a retail spot for Blackmarket Bakery

January 14, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 27 Comments

If you’re a frequent Irvine Farmers Market visitor, you will be familiar with Blackmarket Bakery‘s baked goods enticing you each week with its croissants, pastries, cookies and more. Prior to now, the bakery has been predominantly wholesale, offering only a very limited selection at its Skypark Circle kitchen. Just after the new year, the bakery’s […]

a farewell to 2012 with a year-end round-up

December 27, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 7 Comments

This year has flown by and now we are at my last post of 2012. Like last year, I end with a run-down of my 10 most memorable restaurants/meals of the last 12 months. On my list are two San Diego restaurants and another, which has made my list two years in a row. Thank […]

surprisingly tasty barbecue at Famous Dave’s

November 22, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 16 Comments

I admit, I’m not a big fan of barbecue, and it takes good barbecue for me to like it. One of my favorite places is Phil’s down in San Diego. We visited Famous Dave’s BBQ (where South Coast Winery used to be) recently and I walked in the door filled with skepticism. The place smelled […]

Last week, I attended the Pritchard Hill wine dinner at The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon, just two days after my birthday dinner at the restaurant.

a fantastic fall lineup at Haven Gastropub

November 1, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 35 Comments

If you have not been acquainted with Haven Gastropub yet, this is the time to do it. This season, Chef Greg Daniels has presented a fall menu so worthy of praise I’m still salivating at the thought of it. I was lucky enough to be invited to a preview of some fall menu items and […]

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.
