The old Valencia St. KFC location (which, I guess was also this place called “Spork” for a few years) has a nice new all-black finish and, as of tonight, is host to a brand-new pop-up rice bowl spot.  Inside Scoop reports:

Starting tonight, Spork partner Neil Jorgensen will reopen the restaurant space as a short-term concept named Rice Broker.

The crux of the menu will be rice bowls, and it will just be Jorgensen cooking with a few other staffers. He’s redone the interior and given it a new look, too.

“I’ve always loved Asian ingredients, so I’m doing this as an inexpensive fun experiment,” says Jorgensen, who adds he’s looking forward to get back in the kitchen. Even though he’s been running front-of-house operations in recent years at Spork and Thermidor, he once cooked at places like Manresa, Range and Bar Tartine.

That sounds nice and all, but the real selling point is that they have eight (eight!) asian beers on tap.  And their menu, which you can read in full at Inside Scoop, is mostly around ten bucks.
