The Crooked Duck — Long Beach

June 1, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

Panxa Cocina in Long Beach is a definite gem

January 16, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I’ve waited more than half a year to finally eat at Chianina.

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.
