Counterpoint San Diego is right on point

November 3, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

It isn’t often I walk away from a meal that makes me feel so utterly happy inside.

I am searching for a restaurant to have a family get-together while in Brisbane, but I also want it to be something different, something special.

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.
