I’m not a huge brunch fan. I’d much rather eat lunch than most traditional breakfast items, which explains why the brunch at CdM is rather appealing to me. Executive Chef Jon Blackford has created a fantastic menu featuring items that will speak to a wide variety of palates, ranging from savory to sweet. The 3-course […]

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.
