a little Utopia at The District in Tustin

March 8, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

The District in Tustin has a new resident. Utopia European Caffe is a fast casual concept, open from early morning, to late in the evening.

New Orleans: Day 2 (part one)

January 30, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It is my second day in New Orleans and it is going to be a crazy day of eating. I am surprised I am up early after a difficult night. I fall asleep around 5am and wake to my alarm going off at 8am. I check the temperature outside on my phone so I have […]

Moulin will take you to Paris without leaving OC

I’ve been to Moulin as many times as I can count on one hand — perhaps more — since its opening almost a month ago.

This post isn’t like any other I’ve ever written before. This involves hands-on experience I don’t ordinarily get from my day-to-day dealings with restaurants. Generally, I’m on the receiving side, not the making side. However, I’m getting ahead of myself here, so let me start from the beginning. About seven years ago, I was at […]

Two years ago, I was introduced to Cafe 21 at Gaslamp and fell in love with it instantly. Since that initial visit, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve returned to it, each time with gratifying meals shared with friends and loved ones. So it was indeed an exciting day for me to visit Cafe […]

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.
