"Okay, this is a little bit of cheating, but Emeryville Public Market’s smattering of mostly counter-service spots is a seriously great option for families, because sometimes, easy is the chief driving factor for where to eat. Belly-filling burgers at Super Duper Burgers, Korean-Japanese rice-bun sandwiches at Koja Kitchen (where some moms-to-be may make a daily habit of kamikaze fries), avocado-studded tacos at C Casa, and a fast-casual tour of Peru with Paradita Eatery… all members of one household can choose what they like, gather at a communal table to dine in a no-fuss environment, and call it a day." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
