PUBlic 74 — San Juan Capistrano

May 20, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

The first time I visit PUBlic 74 is several months ago with friends, before my second, a media dinner showcasing some new menu items this week. Even though PUBlic 74 is right off the freeway, the GPS is a little confused the first time around taking us on a wild goose chase. This time, I’m smarter, […]

Vaca — Costa Mesa

May 16, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Last year, we are all waiting with bated breath for Vaca to open. Six months ago, the Spanish-inspired restaurant opens amid Chef Amar Santana’s stint on Top Chef, creating even more of a buzz than usual, as the whole of Orange County and beyond is glued to the TV awaiting the outcome. Amar comes in second place and […]

Slow Smoked Sundaze at Oak Grill

May 2, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

A new Spring menu at The Ritz Carlton’s Raya

April 1, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Raya at The Ritz Carlton is another restaurant I have not visited in a long time. Due to the lack of time and WAY too many new restaurants opening in southern California, I have only visited Raya twice Since Chef de Cuisine Steve Wan took over. This is my third. My previous experiences with Chef Steve have […]

Citrus at The Fairmont Hotel

March 7, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It is always interesting to me that outside of Asia, people rarely eat in hotel restaurants. I’m not quite sure why this hasn’t taken off in the US, but I can assure you, some of the restaurants within restaurants offer up some of the best menus you’ll find. I don’t have to remind anyone how […]

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.
