September 6, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since I’ve had a meal at Bacchus Wine Bar, and on a recent visit with friends, I was surprised to find that they’re offering a full menu now, instead of just bites. Since my last visit about five years ago, Bacchus now has a new owner, as well as a […]

June 28, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been a little while since I was last at TOAST, and it is the first time I’m trying out their lunch/dinner menu. Previously, I had only tried their breakfast menu. Some of the menu items have remained, and some have rotated out. You’ll find this a regular occurrence here as seasons change and the […]

January 29, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

For many years now, I’ve traveled outside of Orange County for added experiences that bring an element of surprise to my increasingly jaded palate.

I don’t usually write about chain restaurants here, however, since I’ve scrapped the newsletter this year, I’ve decided to include some chain restaurant concepts, from time to time, which deserve a mention. Otherwise, please check out the “Odds & Ends” section of the blog for news on chain, fast casual and fast food concepts. It’s […]

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.
