I wanted to thank everyone from Foodbuzz for an awesome dinner at Blanca’s in Newport Beach, especially Kirsten and Ryan. Dinner was great, company was great, wine was great (I can’t figure out Kirsten’s blog link right now!). Thank you so much for the amazing dinner and drinks. You two are the best! Also I wanted to give a shoutout to all those that I met tonight from the Orange County and surrounding areas, I had just great conversations!

Wow today is my week over at Griffin Eats OC. He went to not one, but two places I recommended this week! First he went to Lazy Dog Cafe in Orange, had exceptional service, great food, and loved it. Next he went to Cha Thai in Orange and loved the soup but wished they made the rest of their food spicier. Glad you liked the places Griffin.

Then today Gustavo over at OC Weekly did a review for PK Burger, which is one of the best hamburger joints located near my work. I’d like to think he went there based on my review, but one can only hope that’s why. If you are out there Gus say hi, I read you all the time in OC Weekly.

I have reviews coming, in fact I have 6 waiting to be wrote up (Taco Adobe, Memphis, BJs Pizza, El Faralito, Wings ‘n Things, Blake’s Place), been a very hectic week at work, and I lost half of the pictures I took when I was out.

Thank you everyone that has visited the site lately. Also wanted to give a shout out to my main site sponsor Foodbuzz who is taking some of us OC Foodies out to dinner next Thursday! I’m looking forward to meeting you all!

OC Weekly Food Issue 2008

August 9, 2008 · Filed Under OC Food News · Comment

Just wanted to bring this to those of you that hadn’t already seen it. Edwin Goei and Gustavo Arellano put together a very good and comprehensive list of places to get your food fix in Orange County, for under $15. I was sort of surprised by the lack of straight ol American food. There are definitely some places I would have added to the list if I had been a part of it, but it shows me that I haven’t even touched the surface of places to eat in OC. I think I’ve been lucky to go to 2 or 3 of the places listed. I’ll post more later about those I have visited and those that I now what to visit after reading their article.

Thanks for the great work guys!
