Hard Knox Cafe: Coming Soon to the Outer Richmond (on Clement)

Eater SF alerted me to the news of Hard Knox prepping a space in the Outer Richmond for its soul food goodness. Their current digs are in the Dogpatch part of town, which I reviewed last year, so this new location amongst my peoples will be a welcome addition.

(Bryant, you’ll only have 5 blocks to go if you’re looking for some fried catfish, fried chicken, or delicious pork chops and cornbread muffins.)

I’m looking forward to the invite to check out store #2…and am hoping the garlic powder flavor that seemed to be pervasive in my pork chops during my first visit is remedied.

Olivia’s Soul Food (San Francisco Sole) - Lip Smackin’ Good

Olivia’s (to be renamed San Francisco Sole at some point)
4712 Third St
San Francisco, CA 94124
(415) 647-3663

Make sure when you decide to hit this place, that you get your driving directions down right. This place isn’t in the “hiply industrial” part of Dogpatch or Third St. It’s really in the Bayview/Hunter’s Point district. (How either of those are geographically separated, I don’t know. I seem to see them always lumped together, so I’m doing so myself.)

Bodega Bistro: French Vietnamese in the Tenderloin

Bodega Bistro
607 Larkin St.
(between Eddy St & Willow St)
(415) 921-1218

I usually just associated San Francisco’s strip of Little Saigon (Larkin Street near Hastings Law School) as the place to go for dirt cheap and delicious banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches). The Sunset was for actual Vietnamese restaurants, and those were usually Chinese/Vietnamese BBQ hybrids, or so I thought.

Choosing Cooking Oil

Ok, so most of the survey respondents said they want to read more restaurant reviews and easy home recipes. So I guess that means most of you think you know your cooking tips, eh? Well here’s one for the small set of you that care about what cooking or frying oil you use.

A med student has a blog called Diethack and has some suggestions on how to cook oil the healthy way, and discusses the different types of oil you can buy.

The first part of the article gives you the basic cautions about over-indulgence in cooking oil. Yeah yeah, let’s get to the good stuff.
