So a touch of bacon grease will make it come out more golden brown?  I didn't know that but I don't use Crisco so does it do the same with vegetable oil?  I only use Crisco for greasing pans for baking.  I'm sure we all remember the "it all comes back but one tablespoon" commercial from the 70's.  I still don't beleive it.

The south gets lambasted for frying everything but lately I have seen some things on TV that blew me away.  I started watching a couple of cooking competition shows (MasterChef and Cut Throat Kitchen) and have been amazed at what they will fry.  In one show I saw Romain lettuce hearts, Brussell Sprouts, and Kale freid.  Frying a leaf vegetable such as these has never crossed my mind.

The Masterchef Junior edition that started this week is incredible.
