February 27, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Last night, we celebrated a friend’s birthday and we decided to give the newly opened The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon in Anaheim a try. The restaurant is beautiful, stylish, ranch-style interior with dark woods, and like one of my girlfriends said “very manly”. It was too dark to take photos of the interior, but if you […]

LUCCA Cafe launches delicious Happy Hour menu

June 24, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I was a little wary about eating here because street food is what I grew up on. I was afraid they would butcher the dishes that were close to my heart and then I’d leave feeling underwhelmed and more homesick for those dishes more than ever before. My friend Austin and I arrived when it […]

The Marine Room — a room with a view

April 29, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 5 Comments

Tucked away on a hidden road in La Jolla, The Marine Room sits right on the water’s edge affording those who are lucky enough to dine here, the luxurious view of the ocean’s horizon. We arrive just as the sun is making its way back into the horizon, the orange hues like a painter’s palette […]

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.
