one big party at Bagatelle

September 25, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

Charlie Palmer’s new small plates and cocktails

April 4, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 19 Comments

Charlie Palmer’s has always been known for its sexy cocktails and the flow of OC’s beautiful people through its doors. I’ve been to lunch and dinner several times, but I like the lounge area the best. The restaurant has recently introduced some new small plates and cocktails on the lounge menu, perfect to share with […]

Pitfire offers artisan pizza and more

Tommy Bahama’s delicious island style

June 7, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 41 Comments

I was recently invited to a tasting of Tommy Bahama’s new menu items and as always, I am always excited because I absolutely adore Chef Jacqueline Nabong. Her dishes are always fresh, light and flavorful, drawing upon her Hawaiian heritage and staying true to the island-feel of Tommy Bahama’s care-free image. Our dinner was served […]

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.
