Upscale Mexican fare comes to Hanford at Luna Restaurant

Any Mexican restaurant opening up in our area faces a tough challenge -- with an abundance of good, authentic Mexican restaurants around, how does your venue distinguish itself and define itself as being different from all the others?

Luna Restaurant, in north Hanford, has done it by going for a decidedly upscale feel, and, for the most part, it has worked.

You can feel -- and see -- the difference as soon as you swing open Luna's wide wooden doors and enter inside. The interior has been artfully designed with a long wall fountain, a lighted display of reeds and beautiful pinhole light sculptures dotting the ceilings above. You truly feel as if you're walking out of Hanford and into a chic bistro at the coast or in Southern California.

As we were there on a Sunday night there was no wait getting a table and our server brought chips and salsa to the table promptly and took our drink order. The chips were fresh and with them, we were given a small serving dish with two kinds of salsa, which apparently is standard fare. Both the salsas were very good (one red, one green).

Cupcake addicts feed their sweet tooth at 'camp’

SAN FRANCISCO -- There's no hiking, canoeing or singing by a fire. But there might be marshmallows. At CupcakeCamp, the focus is on sweet eats.

Devotees of the classic -- and oh-so-hip -- dessert have found a new way to congregate and consume dozens of cupcakes. The gist? Get lots of people and cupcakes together in one spot. Do a bit of swapping and a lot of eating. That's as complicated as it gets.

Ariel Waldman, a San Francisco digital anthropologist, first tossed around the idea as a joke. She and her friends love cupcakes and love enjoying them together. So, why not get organized about it?
