Over 30 Southern California breweries lugged over casks full of beer for the second annual sold-out FirkFest, a festival of cask ale, two Saturdays ago (ha! I’m busy doing stuff, what I can I say?) hosted by the OC Beer Blog. It took place at the cozy Farmer’s Park, located right in the ever-so-hip Packing District of Anaheim. It… Continue reading It’s The Firkin’ Weekend Baby, I’m About To Have Me Some Fun.

Meet up at Meatup BBQ | OCBeerBlog
Sometimes when you’re constantly planning and going on adventures, you don’t ever get the chance to sit down and document them because you’re too busy just living in the moment. Recently, I got to grab a bite and some brews with the man behind OC Beer Blog and he asked me to guest write on his… Continue reading Meet up at Meatup BBQ | OCBeerBlog
Backyard Exploring | Crystal Cove
I get caught up with wanting to explore things in the distance, so I told myself to explore my surroundings. Crystal Cove is part of Newport Beach in Orange County, located between the Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Coast highway. What sets this beach apart from the rest is the Historic District of beach cottages… Continue reading Backyard Exploring | Crystal Cove
What’s better than shabu shabu? Organic shabu-shabu!
On a quest to find a shabu shabu restaurant open late, I stumbled upon a new shabu shabu joint that opened two months ago in Anaheim Hills. This one wasn’t open late, but what really sold me was that this new restaurant boasted organic ingredients. I had to go the next day! True Shabu brings a whole new… Continue reading What’s better than shabu shabu? Organic shabu-shabu!
Current Muse: The Speculoos Special
I’ve always had a weak spot for waffles. I used to love Eggo waffles growing up, unaware of the authenticity this waffle lacked. I grasped on to my love for them up until my first year of college in Chicago; I can recall times I’ve thrown waffles in my toaster in a rush, only to… Continue reading Current Muse: The Speculoos Special
Prosciutto on my Mind
To the food I can’t stop thinking about, I got you on my mind- the prosciutto sandwich. I can barely spell prosciutto, constantly double-checking if I need to add or remove a letter, but when it comes to eating it; well, don’t mind if I do! When I first fell for prosciutto, it was while… Continue reading Prosciutto on my Mind
Craft Beer + Food Trucks
What’s my favorite part about living in Southern California? It’s not the perfect weather or the ability to get from the beaches off the Pacific Coast Highway to the snowy mountains of Mammoth in a matter of hours. It’s the fact that I can drive to at least five different breweries all within ten minutes, give or take,… Continue reading Craft Beer + Food Trucks
Food Truck Fries | OC
First post of the year! What better way to start than with an ode to my favorite, FRENCH FRIES!!! (Or freedom fries for whoever thought that could actually be a thing) My last run with fries in 2013 was with a newer food truck called Porko Rico, the same creators of The Viking Truck. Behold the Captain Porko Fries:… Continue reading Food Truck Fries | OC
Maybe It’s Cold Outside
An unexpected duet between Lady Gaga and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I’m in love with this take on, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” The switching of gender roles was nicely done. In California, “cold outside” will most likely be the somewhere in the 60s and what better way to warm up than with RAMEN! At 1906 reviews on… Continue reading Maybe It’s Cold Outside
Cronut, Beachside
I made a rare, Saturday morning drive to Huntington Beach. Clouds hovered over my apartment, but the closer we got to the beach, the brighter the sun shone through. I was craving a bagel sandwich from The Donuttery; my heart was set on a lox bagel. I decided I wanted to enjoy my food on the… Continue reading Cronut, Beachside
