From the moment I pulled open the Georgian-gold door with the rabbit door knocker, to the wonderland effect of stepping into the splendid interior, I felt I was being transported into a different world. My eyes darted around […]

Hawaiian or Argentinean? you be the judge!

July 5, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been at least six or seven years ago since I was last at The Royal Hawaiian. It had closed for some time, but now, Chef Maro Molteni (of Maro’s Wood Grill fame) has taken over the space, and I was very interested to see what he’s done to the place. In all fairness, I […]

January 18, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

In recent years, downtown Fullerton has been quietly adding notable restaurants, bars, and anything in between. I don’t get to Fullerton much, simply because it isn’t close to me, and battling the 5 and 57 freeways isn’t something I enjoy doing on a weeknight. Recently, I visited Pickled Monk to try its regular, as well […]

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.
