Dory Deli is a friendly spot for everyone

March 31, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

The restaurant is decorated with all things nautical, but my favorites are the vintage photos, bringing a sense of family, history, and belonging — so fitting for the Newport Beach community — providing a casual environment for a quick bite at any time of the day. We tried […]

Bistango introduces new chef and a makeover

March 27, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since my last visit to Bistango, so when I was invited with a group of food writers, to check out the newly renovated restaurant, along with the appointment of a new chef, I was eager to find out more. The restaurant’s interior was long overdue for an update, and now, […]

Bruno’s Italian Kitchen puts love on a plate

March 24, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

We arrive to […]

March 5, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I remember quite vividly, the last time I’m here. We are taking my grandmother out for lunch and she is still mobile enough to travel around in her wheelchair. She passed away five years ago — and I don’t remember visiting again after that time possibly six or more years ago. It isn’t for any […]

March 2, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 1 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.
