Tommy Bahama’s Fish Fridays + giveaway

March 20, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 31 Comments

It’s been a while since I last dined at Tommy Bahama Island Grille. I love the tropical atmosphere and on this day, we opted to sit out on the patio to take advantage of the glorious day we were having here in southern California. The cool breeze made for a very leisurely afternoon indeed. The […]

Connie and Ted’s — a modern day seafood shack

January 7, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

This has been a really difficult post to write. We’d been waiting to eat at Connie and Ted’s since it opened, after all, it IS a Michael Cimarusti restaurant and getting a reservation is no easy feat. However, our experienced was a very mixed one which has been weighing heavily on my heart as I […]

the Ways and Means of oysters and more

December 5, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

All the buzz about the newly opened Ways and Means was the reason why Austin and I ended up here for dinner. I was amazed at the transformation, of what they’ve done to the old Spiro’s where I had breakfast all those years ago. The decor exudes charm and class, yet, the feeling is very […]

new menu items at The Capital Grille

Although we visit The Capital Grille many times a year, I haven’t written anything about them in a while. My last visit here for lunch with my girl friends prompted me to post something about some of the new items on their “Plates” menu. The “Plates” menu is a very reasonable lunch-time offering with three items […]

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.
