Tuesday Quick Links
• In our continuing Pinkberry coverage, it looks like we'll have one of the buzzworthy frozen yogurt places sometime next year. By then, though, we may no longer care: Competitor Red Mango will be open in Evanston, Naperville and Lincolnshire before the end of the year, with more stores to follow, and a local challenger, Starfruit, is under development by Morton Grove-based Lifeway Foods based on the company's kefir product. The first Starfruit store is expected to open at 1745 W. Division next month.

• Michael Nagrant interviews The Violet Hour's Tobey Maloney.
• The MenuPages blog turned me on to Fruit Slinger, a blog by a Southwest Michigan fruit farmer. Really interesting, fun posts.
