Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee (Costa Mesa, CA) – September 2014

After my last trip to Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee, you would think I was all doughnut-ed out…  Wrong!  I found out that there are new wonderful flavors each month, so I had an inkling that I would be returning soon.  I’m so glad I did! Without further ado, the September flavors! PB & J a […]

Crow Burger Kitchen (Newport Beach, CA)

Typically, I tend to avoid the Newport Beach area on weekends when the weekend crowd comes out to play.  So when I found myself mere minutes from Crow Burger Kitchen relatively early, I was so in! The restaurant is tucked into a strip mall and has such a great vibe.  You would never know it!  Awesome atmosphere […]

The Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen (Fullerton, CA)

Having lived all around the vast area that is Southern California, I like to consider myself familiar with the best eating spots around.  However, if you saw my Food Maps section for Southern California, before visiting the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen, you would have seen a gaping hole over Fullerton.  Well shame on me! I was […]

OC Brew Ha Ha (Orange County, CA)

I was happy to be invited to the 5th Annual OC Brew Ha Ha held at Irvine Lake.  I was not sure what to expect, but I ended up having a complete blast!  I was sad to miss the Brew Hee Haw at the OC fair earlier this summer, but I sent my trusty correspondent to […]

solita Tacos & Margaritas (Huntington Beach, CA)

One of the best things about living in Southern California is the wonderful Mexican food.  You can find the usual trucks, seafood spots, and so on, but there are very few spots that stand out… and solita is one them! Besides the absolutely gorgeous space, I decided to make my way over to the convenient Huntington […]

Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee (Costa Mesa, CA) – August 2014

I’m a food blogger, I love doughnuts, and I live really close to Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee.  So why haven’t I been here yet?  Well, maybe it’s one of those things that you put off because you just know you’ll adore it and once you start, you won’t be able to stop. Now, not to […]

Pie-Not (Costa Mesa, CA) #2

Is there anything better than pie?  Tender, flaky crusts filled with… meat? Well, in the U.S., we usually limit our pies to sweet offerings, unless we’re talking pot pie or shepherd’s pie.  However, the Aussie’s have their savory pie game down, and lucky for us in SoCal, we have a transplant from the land down […]
