About
Alyssa and Mary run the The Plain Jane. Alyssa is still around, but most of the content is now written by Mary.
This food blog is a side project, featuring reviews of restaurants in and around Southern California. They review all kinds of restaurants, pulling out their trusty cameras and taking photos of their food while other patrons try not to look at them and wonder why they are taking pictures of their food. Mary writes the majority of the reviews found on the website in the San Diego area. Alyssa now lives in Los Angeles and isn’t a regular anyone but she sometimes makes an appearance for a review in LA.
Alyssa’s other blog is called Pukey Colors. Mary’s other (now defunct) blog is Mary’s Crafty Blog.
