I’ve waited quite some time to visit Watergrill. Between social media, and friends, I’ve been receiving feedback, both positive AND negative, so it is time I dine there, to establish an opinion of my own. We are here during lunch, and I am immediately floored by the transformation of what used to be Scott’s Seafood. […]

SOCIAL Costa Mesa has come into its own

April 3, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since my last visit to Social. The restaurant has since garnered a new chef at the helm, and while the restaurant looks pretty much the same, there are subtle changes which have made all the difference in the ambiance and general feel of the place. Our server Juan is fantastic, […]

Sunday Brunch at Pizzeria Ortica starts this Sunday!

August 12, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Amar comes in second place and […]

Leatherby’s new spring menu + Book of Mormon menu

March 25, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since I last visit Leatherby’s Cafe Rouge for one of its theater menus. This week, I have tickets to Book of Mormon and I am dining with friends before the show.

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.
