Old Crow Smokehouse is a Chicago based barbecue restaurant. There’s 2 in Southern California: 1 in Huntington Beach, and 1 in Orange, just a stone’s throw away from the Honda Center. We came here after we did the Paint the Ice event, and at 11:00 am, there were […]
My BFF Rebecca took me here to celebrate my belated birthday, and her daughter’s 15th. El Farolito is located off the 57 freeway /Chapman off quiet Bradford Street. There’s street parking and a private lot parking. Let’s start off with the food. Delicious! I couldn’t stop eating it. A+ for […]
On Saturday, April 28th, the Anaheim Ducks provided season tickets holders (now called the Orange Alliance) the opportunity to paint the NHL ice before scraping it down for the season. They had 4 time spots from 10:00, 11:00, 12:noon, and 1:00, with each session lasting 45-minutes. After going […]
Fullerton has a lot of KFC’s… that’s Korean Fried Chicken restaurants. Korean fried chicken differs from typical American fried chicken because it is fried twice and the skin is therefore crunchier and less greasy. The chicken is usually seasoned with spices, sugar, and salt, prior to and after […]
The NHL playoff begins tonight, and the game I am looking forward to is watching the Vegas Golden Knights will play their first post season against Los Angeles Kings. Las Vegas has been an amazing team this season (and, it’s their first year in the NHL). Here’s the […]
It’s the last game of the 2017-18 season, and the Ducks Die Hards (IG: DucksDieHards) organized a road trip to watch the team play the Coyotes at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, AZ. The fans all met at the Honda Center on Saturday, and we received an […]
This little Japanese restaurant is hidden in a strip mall, off Chapman and Victoria, across the street from a post office. We came on a Wednesday and was able to find parking, but I can see that parking can be an issue on weekends or on cooler days when […]
When we adopted Montague, we didn’t know his exact birthday, so we gave him mine. So, Happy Birthday to me and Montague.
Teryn Gray is from Southern California, and moved to New York City to become an actress. I’ve known this magnificent young lady for over 10 years, when she sat next to me at Anaheim Ducks games, back when she would tell me the hottest YA books to read. She […]
I was invited to attend a progressive food tour of Koreatown by Avital Tours. It’s a 3 hour, 4-course progressive prix-fixe dining experience, where you visit 4 restaurants and receive two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert, with a sprinkling of culinary history and stories in between. Unfortunately, I was not […]
On Thursday, March 1st, Crepes Bonaparte had their grand opening celebration. From 5:00 to 9:00 pm, they were giving away a free Nutella crepe to anyone who stopped by. Free crepe! Of course I’ll stop by… as did a whole bunch of other fans of this food truck. […]

After the Golden Knights game, Karen and I cut through the Monte Carlo hotel and took the free tram/monorail to the Bellagio, which was also the final stop. The station is located in the back part of the hotel, which eventually leads you to the conservatory and the […]
My bucket list is to visit every NHL arena, and after checking off T-Mobile, I only have 3 arenas left to go… so when I say this a 5 star venue, it’s because I have been to many places to compare. First, don’t drive or even take an uber unless […]
Wahlburgers is a Boston burger restaurant owned by chef Paul Wahlberg in partnership with two of his celebrity brothers Donnie and Mark. There are 14 locations, but only 1 in Nevada… and this one is located in front of the Bally’s hotel and casino, in the shops and restaurants area. […]
So it’s been 2 months, and that means it’s time for another Vegas visit. Now that the casinos have started charging for parking, I try to stay at a Caesar’s Entertainment property. However, the Cosmopolitan is still my favorite hotel/ casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and recently […]
There’s a new Mediterranean restaurant called SAJJ in Ranch Santa Margarita (or RSM to the locals). They call it line style ordering… but you will relate more if I call it Chipotle or Subway style ordering. You pick your base, whether its a bowl, wrap or pita. Then you […]
