February 21, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

> The idea of a Gastropub culture has only started to hit California and once that phenomena dropped its claws, these beer drinking establishments which serves food has sprung up like weeds. My last review, though posted months ago, was on Haven Gastropub in Orange, CA and since then, Valhalla Table has cropped up serving […]

>Haven Gastropub — beer beer beer

>If you’re under the impression that bar food can’t taste good then think again. Haven Gastropub has some decent food to accompany its array of beers — and when you come here, you have to have a beer — and a selection of Californian wines. The chicken drumettes are a bit dry and the chorizo […]

>Oshimi — sassy sashimi

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.
