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.

Powell’s Place, home of some good fried chicken in San Francisco, is possibly closing its Fillmore ‘hood location.
Granted, I’ve only eaten at the old location in Hayes Valley (and it’s mid-grub-range) and the new place looks a little too fancy for when I wanna get my grub on.
But Eater SF mentions that this old school restaurant could be closing soon.

Finally, a true grubgirl-confirmed value find. If you can make it here on a weekday between 8-11am, you can order jook specials for $2.50 a pop. That’s right.
K-dub and I happened to have a Friday “work from home” morning and ventured out here. Upon entering, you’ll walk down a short hallway with the kitchen directly visible through greasy glass panes on your right. There are lots of steaming pots of jook, and several deep fryers, and I noticed at least 3-4 cooks. (They weren’t waiters, that’s for sure.).

If you’ve a hankering for some rice, macaroni salad, and a fried or grilled entree, then head to the Mission outskirts to hit this place. On a sunny day maybe you can imagine you’re on the big island…if you try really really hard.
Seafood Combo - $6.50
I was able to substitute chicken katsu in stack of teri steak/chicken/short ribs.
The seafood part is 1 deep fried breaded mahi mahi, and 3-4 breaded butterfly shrimp. Not bad, especially with the dipping sauce & rooster hot sauce. However, for the price, I was hoping for more shrimp. As a consolation, there was a helluva lotta chicken katsu…seemed about 2 breasts worth.
