The Hideaway in Long Beach is 100% true to its name. The atmosphere is relaxed, its entrance leads to the bar, with a small dining room to the right. Though unassuming, do not for one moment think that it’s just a plain ole steakhouse — it is not! This little hidden gem has some seriously solid […]

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.
