get READY for some Rooster PM

July 18, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

Rooster Cafe does a good job for breakfast, but what I have been enamoured with has been the little pop-ups which have taken over the space in the evenings starting with Hidden Kitchen. In fact, I celebrated my birthday at Hidden Kitchen that year and enjoyed it several times before it closed its doors. Then, […]

Farm to table fare at McKinley’s Grille

July 15, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It surprised me when I read that McKinley’s Grille’s Chef David Teig prepares his menus using a selection of farm-to-table produce grown on-site at McKinley’s own farm. What is even more surprising is that McKinley’s Grille is situated inside a hotel — Sheraton Pomona! I was visiting friends in the area and we decided to […]

Thai Corner — too sweet to return to

July 12, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I was last at Bottega Louie — too long I might add. We were up in LA recently and were actually in the vicinity and decided to pop by for a late lunch/early dinner. I’ve always loved Bottega Louie’s dining room with its high ceilings and clean, minimalistic feel. Everyone […]

Say “kanpai” to a worthy OC izakaya

July 7, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of Honda-Ya preferring its sister Kappo-Honda whenever I am hankering for izakaya fare. So needless to say, when I found Meijiya in Costa Mesa, I was tickled, mainly because I didn’t know about it before — even though they’d been open about a year — but also because they […]

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.
