Boldo Bol (Santa Ana, CA)

I was extremely excited to have a preview of the new Boldo Bol restaurant opening in downtown Santa Ana soon.  The food was beautiful and one of the first on my new Instagram account! The restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in the Slow Food movement and will uphold a true earth-to-table sourcing model.  Chef Paul and […]

Il Fornaio (Irvine, CA)

We were in the area and very hungry, so we visited Il Fornaio, because I remembered the wonderful dinner we had there several months ago.  It was wonderful as always, and it was an opportunity to try a few more delicious dishes! For pictures of the decor and more, check out the first post I wrote. […]

Bistango (Irvine, CA)

Just a few months ago, I shared with you a meal we had at Bistango and earlier tonight I headed to the launch party for the new summer menu.  There were lots of appetizers to sample, and they were all delicious! The event also benefitted THE Breast Cancer Fundraiser, an organization that started in Orange County […]

Z’Tejas (Costa Mesa, CA)

Anaheim Packing District (Anaheim, CA)

It was actually converted from an old Sunkist packing house […]

Crème de la Crêpe (Southern California)

It was in between lunch and dinner time, and luckily Crème de la Crêpe was open!  To see […]

Casa Inka (Fountain Valley, CA)

We had a quick dinner with my family and a friend who is practically part of the family!  They picked a restaurant that I had not tried before, called Casa Inka.  We do love our Peruvian food, remember our meals at Picca and Mo-chica?  🙂 The restaurant itself is huge, colorful, and there was some lovely […]

nékter Juice Bar (Southern California)

After a very hearty brunch at The Attic, I was pretty stuffed!  After running some errands, I promised to bring my guy back a juice because I thought it would be light and refreshing for the warmer weather we have been having here.  Next stop, nékter Juice Bar! Well, this will not be a post filled […]
