Signifying the beginning of the year-end retrospectives, Chow has decided to roll out its first annual awards show. Called the Chow 13, it recognizes 13 "provocateurs, trendsetters, and rabble-rousers" that represent the "culinary zeitgeist of 2009." On the list are a few locals too, including Ryan Farr (pictured, heroically riding a carcass), Deborah Madison of Greens and Oakland farmer lady Novella Carpenter. But the best part is easily the cartoon illustrations. [Chow]
