[UPDATE 11/19] The Veggie Grill at Irvine Spectrum opens on Friday, November 21st. Yes…I went to a vegetarian restaurant. I was a bit hesitant, but in the interests of health, we went. Tim and I left the office and headed towards UC Irvine for lunch. After having a hard time finding parking in the University Town Center lot, we found something near Trader Joes…

If you are a true food adventurer, then you know that sometimes a little hole in the wall can be a find. Today we went to a little place in Santa Ana called Lindo Michoacan. It literally is hole in the wall but has authentic mexican food, all made by hand…

Tim and I headed out to the Thai Cafe in Irvine. They are in the building that used to be El Conejo. El Conejo closed up all their shops a couple of months ago. In the newly remodeled space, Thai Spice has a nice modern feel and you wouldn’t have known it used to be a Mexican food place…

Today for lunch I tried another new place. My co-worker was feeling like KFC and in that same shopping center was Haute Links. HL’s slogan is “Sausage That’s Probably Healthier Than You Are”. They serve gourmet sausages that are made here in California. You can even buy fresh sausage that you can take home and cook yourself…

Can you believe that I have never had a Tommy’s Burger here in Southern California? So the IT Team and I went to Tommy’s to check it out. I would say that the next competing chain would be In and Out…

Today my friend Tara came with me as we were also testing cameras. We took three sets of pictures. I was going to post the pics, but clearly there was one winner and it the one that I feel has “depth”. I’ll go ahead and post the iPhone pics as well. Our third camera was a Nikon L3, what I call my digital instamatic. All the pics I took with that camera were blurry…
