In recent years, downtown Fullerton has been quietly adding notable restaurants, bars, and anything in between. I don’t get to Fullerton much, simply because it isn’t close to me, and battling the 5 and 57 freeways isn’t something I enjoy doing on a weeknight. Recently, I visited Pickled Monk to try its regular, as well […]

July 11, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Long Beach has become one of my favorite cities to explore restaurants and the hidden gems tucked away here and there. Although Beer Belly is not hidden, nor unknown – it has made a name for itself in LA’s K-town – it is a relatively new spot in LBC, and proving to be a rather popular […]

Chapter One reclaims its rightful place in DTSA

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.
