Natalie Richardson, owner of LuLu’s, which won the “Best Mexican Food” category for the second time, puts a similar emphasis on “natural, organic and sustainably raised” ingredients. “The reality is that we live in an area with an abundance of opportunities to eat Mexican food,” she noted. “What sets us apart is [that] our food is fresh. Every salsa, every chip, every fruit drink is made from scratch daily.”. After debuting in Menlo Park in 2005, LuLu’s has expanded to Palo Alto, San Carlos and Los Altos and currently serves 1,200 diners a day among all four restaurants. However, Richardson has learned over the years that it is imperative to have “very thick skin” when striving to be successful in the restaurant business.

Initially appearing as a chipper house manager, Britney Frazier becomes a boomingly bellyaching God, and Victor Talmadge is a wearily cranky but accommodating Death. Avi Roque seems at first like a disgruntled patron, and Alexandra Van De Poel as a bewildered young girl in the audience, until they reveal themselves to be other symbolic figures. Director Nataki Garrett and the versatile cast make the most of the enchanting individual moments that make up the play without quite cohering into a coherent whole. In one marvelously animated scene that comes out of nowhere and then vanishes without a trace, large skeleton puppets designed by Janni Younge do a jaunty dance choreographed by Rami Margron to Macy Gray’s bouncy “Oblivion.”.

When Charles Dickens published “A Christmas Carol” in 1843, movies and TV were still far off in the distance. So there’s no way he could have ever imagined that his tightfisted anti-hero, Ebenezer Scrooge, would someday be portrayed by the likes of Vanessa Williams … and Mr. Magoo. Would the author have approved — or blurted out a grouchy “Bah, humbug!”. There, in fact, have been countless filmed incarnations of Dickens’ cautionary tale, with the portrayals ranging from the deadly serious (George C. Scott) to the wildly offbeat (Susan Lucci, Tori Spelling) and lighthearted (Mr. Spacely from “The Jetsons”).
