a slice of Americana at Cassell’s — downtown LA

March 22, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Nestled in downtown Los Angeles is a little taste of Americana, offering up kicked-up, classic diner fare. This is the second location, with the original located not too far away, in K-town. Cassell’s is a full-serve restaurant with an array of offerings that’ll please both young and old. I love the simple, vintage feel of […]

Burger Parlor partners with Gringo Bandito

April 28, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I am at Burger Parlor checking out the new Gringo Bandito Tostada Burger, a collaboration between one of my favorite hot sauce companies (founded by The Offspring frontman, Dexter Holland), and Chef Joseph Mahon’s restaurant.

If the name Frank De Loach has never crossed your ears before, you’re definitely missing out. This is an unconventional chef who thinks outside of the box, one who is not afraid to play with flavors and bring together ingredients some may not be familiar with. In short, not everyone get his food.  But for those who […]

where’s the Umami?

May 8, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 7 Comments

Normally I wouldn’t even bother with writing up a place I didn’t enjoy, however, I couldn’t pass this one over purely because EVERYONE seems to love it and sadly, I didn’t. The Umami Burger hype has stretched from Los Angeles down to Orange County and I finally jumped on the burger bandwagon and went to […]

Mick’s gourmet Karma Bar burgers

April 24, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

When I first saw Mick’s Karma Bar on Yelp, I was strangely curious because the name conjures up images of a weird spot decorated with ‘om’ symbols and Buddha statues, maybe even some crystals of sorts here and there.

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.
