P.F. Chang’s (internationally)

I was editing the pictures for this post and my guy flat out asked me, “Are you really going to blog about P.F. Chang’s?”  Well, yes!  I wanted to blog all my eating episodes, and that includes everywhere, including chain restaurants. The main reason we headed to P.F. Chang’s this weekend is because my guy […]

Anandamide (Long Beach, CA)

After our delicious meal at Honduras Kitchen, we decided to walk through Retro Row.  On our walk, I spotted Anandamide, which I had heard was called a Psychadelic Delicatessen.  Groovy! Doesn’t this storefront look groovy to you?  đꙂ  I’m not sure if all of the items are are dairy/gluten free, vegan, and raw, but they […]

Honduras Kitchen (Long Beach, CA)

On a whim, I purchased a Groupon for a restaurant called Honduras Kitchen because: I am an adventurous eater I love a good deal! I am so glad we went because it is such a hidden gem.  Easily, this is one of my favorite new restaurants and there are so many dishes to try!  Here are […]

SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza (Orange, CA)

Christy’s on Broadway (Long Beach, CA) (CLOSED)

I totally admit that this is probably one of my worst photographed posts due to light and the fact that we were really just trying to eat and run.  So please excuse the photo fails, if you don’t mind. I had heard of Christy’s on Broadway for a while but had never been, so we […]

Mitsuwa Marketplace – Part 2 (Southern California)

On my last post, I shared my trip to Mitsuwa Marketplace.  On this post, I wanted to share a few of the items I bought! First of all, here are the packaged sweets. Here is the Yan Yan, which comes with a bunch of sticks and a dipping creme.  I’m a fan of strawberry, but […]

Mitsuwa Marketplace (Southern California)

This is my first post on The Episodic Eater about grocery shopping!  Well, what is so special about that?  Not many people that I know have gone into any international grocery stores, and I have been exploring them since I was a kid. Keep in mind that there are many kinds of ethnic grocery stores […]

Il Fornaio (Irvine, CA)

We went out for a nice, quiet dinner for the first Friday of 2014!  I remember going to Il Fornaio as a child sometimes, but I had not been there in over 10 years.  I was not sure what to expect, but since our dinner partners chose this spot, we were happy to comply.  đꙂ […]
