LYLE ALLEN
You know what they say about guys with big feet: They have big shoes to fill. That was certainly the case for Lyle Allen when he succeeded the late Abby Mandel to become the second director of Green City Market. In his first year on the job, Allen streamlined the market’s layout, making it more navigable; started a kids’ program called Club Sprout; and, most impressive, made the Green City Market a year-round affair, fulfilling the organization’s long-held goal. This summer brings more plans: programs focused on endangered vegetable and fruit varietals and community festivals showcasing the foods of Chicago neighborhoods—all of which would no doubt make Mandel, who succumbed to cancer shortly after Allen’s arrival, mighty proud. Lincoln Park, between 1750 N Clark St and Stockton Drive, chicagogreencitymarket.org.—David TamarkinCritics’ Picks: Promo King | The Please Don’t Go Award | Most Unpretentious Pretentious Bar | The Best Way to Use Your Noodle Award | Biggest twits | The Comeback Kid | The Urban Oasis Award | The Lifetime Achievement Award | Best Elbow Rubbing | Best Place to Ogle Women | The Bigfoot Award | We’d like to thank the economy | Proof That Evolution Exists | A Blog-o You Can Trust | Recession-era reads | The Viagra Award for Staying Power | Best Revival Act | Thanks for the memories | Best Extra Value Meal Photo gallery | Readers’ Choice Awards | Critics’ Picks | Video from the ceremony

Cookwolf.blogspot.com is a nifty site, even for those of us who can't boil water. If you loved Emily's work in the Trib -- and who didn't? -- you'll eat up this blog with a spoon. I'd read it even if I didn't happen to know Emily. The writing sparkles, and the pictures pop. Who knew raw vegetables could look so sexy?
