Bacchus is not just for wine

September 6, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since I’ve had a meal at Bacchus Wine Bar, and on a recent visit with friends, I was surprised to find that they’re offering a full menu now, instead of just bites. Since my last visit about five years ago, Bacchus now has a new owner, as well as a […]

a whimsical adventure at Fable & Spirit

July 19, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It isn’t surprising that I fell in love with Fable & Spirit the moment I stepped inside. From the moment I pulled open the Georgian-gold door with the rabbit door knocker, to the wonderland effect of stepping into the splendid interior, I felt I was being transported into a different world. My eyes darted around […]

It is a beautiful day and we are driving south on I-5 freeway headed towards Fallbrook.

Now that spring is here, all the nearby stadiums will be seeing sports and concerts resuming in full swing. I’ve been to a few of the restaurants in Anaheim by the Honda Center, but I honestly don’t get out there too often. If you’re one of those who regularly attends games or concerts, here’s a place […]

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.
