Executive Chef Justin Miller has created some great small plates and entrees for this special day and you won’t be subjected to a prix fixe menu […]

Pitfire offers artisan pizza and more

December 25, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I admit, I’m kind of a pizza snob. Frankly, there are only a few places I’d eat pizza at and Orange County isn’t by any means the epicenter of great pizzerias. This is why, when I tried the pizzas at the newly opened Pitfire in Costa Mesa, I was really impressed by how cool the […]

Roma-style slices at Little Italy’s Napizza

November 6, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

If you’re down in San Diego and somehow find yourself in Little Italy, stop by Napizza — I’m told it’s the Italian slang for getting “a slice” of pizza — and grab one from the array they have on display. We stopped by to check this place out and was surprised it was SO packed. […]

Back in southern California and The Hungry Dogg and I met some friends for dinner in San Diego, Davanti Enoteca in little Italy, a nice restaurant with a lovely back patio for dining al fresco. We arrived with 45 minutes left on happy hour. I was thrilled! The items we were told are the same […]

my week in NYC: I Trulli — homemade Italian at its best

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.
