September 21, 2018 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Some San Diego food writer friends of mine pointed me in the direction of Toshi Toshi, an omakase speakeasy that’s located in Tijuana. This 15 seater is hidden away inside Mantequilla restaurant, and reservations are a must. A collaboration between chefs Pedro Valarde Padilla and Chef Toshiaki Tsutada (former Sushi Ota chef), Toshi Toshi aims […]

Noodle Theory — Oakland, CA

San Francisco’s Zarzuela will always have a place in our hearts

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.
