American Grub Review. The Burger Tour episode 1.

The kids were off to Disneyland with mom and I was home, just finished an assignment and hungry. I thought I might go to Peter's Gourmade. I jumped in the car and headed that way but on the way to one of my favorite burgers around, I thought I would try a different spot. Now is better than…

Saigon Beach. A New Vietnamese Eatery in Newport Beach

When my sister first told me about this place called Saigon Beach in Newport Beach that was supposed to be great, I was skeptical because when you visit Newport Beach, you generally don't think of Vietnamese food. In Southern California, if you want Vietnamese food, you go to Garden Grove, or maybe Fountain Valley. You don't go to…

Foodie Review: The Pig’s Head at The Recess Room

If you asked me what I was going to be eating this week, I would have never guessed that I was going to eat a pig's head. But that's what I had, a pig's head at The Recess Room in Fountain Valley. I was a bit apprehensive about eating a pig's head at first, but after watching a…

The Burger Review: The Hat, World Famous Pastrami Burger

If you're on the search for a good burger, a juicy burger, then search no more.
