We begin with Cupid’s Arrow ($14) a strawberry-infused reposado, mixed with pear brandy, sous vide berries, beet root powder, honey, and lemon – […]

Lunch at The Federal Bar — Long Beach + giveaway

new contender Saint & Second in Long Beach is here to stay

April 8, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

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.
