waterfront dining at Sea 180º Coastal Tavern

March 13, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I met a new friend at the end of last year, at a holiday party, and we had been trying to organize a meal together. A new restaurant, Sea 180º Coastal Tavern, was suggested and I made my way down to San Diego to find al fresco dining at its best, right on the beach! […]

San Diego Trails to a neighborhood eatery

December 11, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I love how San Diego is filled with little neighborhood eateries. Here’s one very apropos to its name tucked away in a strip mall in the San Carlos area. Trails doesn’t look like much from the outside, but upon entering, you’ll find a cute, modern interior definitely not expected. After a bit of research, I […]

new fall menu items at Seasons 52

Last week, I gushed over the opening of Whole Foods Newport Beach. The Tustin location sports a wine bar, so how to up the ante but to put a gastropub inside the newest Whole Foods Market in Newport Beach. Back Bay Tavern seats 150 with a rotating selection of craft beers on tap, plus wine and […]

a stunningly eclectic cafe in San Diego

September 4, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

I love restaurants with a great story behind it, and Cafe 21 has one of those stories which would make you want to go there right this minute. But before I get into that particular story, I want to say that even without it, you would want to go just purely because the food is […]

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.
