Catania is a perfect addition to La Jolla’s dining scene

May 5, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Whenever I am in San Diego, it is always difficult to choose where to dine. So many restaurants new and old, and so little time to try them all. On this evening, we dine at Catania, and arrive just as the sun is setting. It is beautiful and romantic, providing a wonderful backdrop for the night […]

Bruno’s Italian Kitchen puts love on a plate

March 24, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since I last visited Bruno’s Italian Kitchen in Brea. Therefore, when I was visiting my friends who live out that way, I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to dine here with them — I am always happy to introduce people to restaurants they’ve never been to. We arrive to […]

Dine Newport Beach — Nesai

January 20, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

The year started off with a bang with Dine Newport Beach kicking off yesterday and running for two weeks, ending on February 1st.

Chianina Steak House — Long Beach

January 16, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I’ve waited more than half a year to finally eat at Chianina. I first encountered them at the Share Our Strength event at The Montage in June last year and was surprised at the quality of food served. Part of the Michael’s group (includes Michael’s on Naples and Michael’s Pizzeria), Chianina’s menu is pure steak house, […]

Brick Pizzeria: not just a pizza joint

December 4, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I first encountered Brick Pizzeria at the Orange Coast Magazine’s 10 Best Restaurants event this year. There wasn’t any food to try that evening, so I moved along and didn’t pay much thought to it. Months later, a reader of mine was raving about this restaurant and I thought it was about time to try […]

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.
