Kelly's ditches unhealthy oil

Boston.com reports that Kelly's Roast Beef -- the venerable North Shore purveyor of sandwiches, fries and fish plates -- has switched to vegetable oil from soybeans for frying. This follows a national trend in which eateries are abandoning unhealthy trans-fat oil in their food.

Kelly's, which now has five locations, started out Revere Beach in 1951. I remember many occasions -- day and night, summer and winter -- when the sidewalk around the Kelly's windows would be filled with people. You don't see that any more, but -- as far as I'm concerned -- they still make the best roast beef sandwich around.
