a new and transformed Tempo Urban Kitchen

April 22, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Before I review Tempo Urban Kitchen, I have to start by saying my initial experience here when they open in 2014 is not a positive one. The restaurant has struggled with finding the right person to helm its kitchen, and the inconsistencies have kept me away — until now. I hear on the grapevine that Chris […]

Duke’s La Jolla is a sight for sore eyes

April 15, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I am in San Diego for a mini high school reunion and upon its finale, I stay behind an extra day to enjoy lunch in beautiful La Jolla before heading back to Orange County. We are at Duke’s in downtown La Jolla, a Hawaiian-inspired restaurant, which pays homage to Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, an Olympic gold medalist […]

Driftwood Kitchen perfect for out of town guests

April 11, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Some friends are in town from Canada and I’m on a mission to take them around for memorable experiences. On their last evening, we are at Driftwood Kitchen for an early dinner. I want them to witness one of the most beautiful sunsets in southern California before they go back home. I order some appetizers […]

April 8, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I have been hearing Saint & Second on several people’s lips of late. As usual, I try not to read too much about restaurants before visiting, so not to tarnish my own view, with other people’s perceptions. Long Beach is always a little trying when it comes to parking, however, we are extremely lucky and […]

Spring menu items at Tommy Bahama Island Grille

April 4, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

A visit to Tommy Bahama Island Grille is always pleasant. Service is always great, and the food is consistent. We are here for an early dinner, and start with a couple of refreshing cocktails — Strawberry Ginger Caipiroska with Grey Goose Citron, Canton Ginger, strawberry, mint, lemon juice; and St Croix Cooler with Cruzan Mango, […]

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.
