Six Restaurants Packing Picnic-Perfect Meals
"Pick up Caribbean bites at this restaurant in Old Oakland where Barbados-born Chef/owner Sarah Kirnon and her friendly staffers welcome you warmly. Sandwiches are the easiest to tote—skillet fried chicken or skillet fried eggplant (both with sweet potato and yucca fries)—and there are daily specials like Wednesday’s jerk chicken with rice, peas, avocado salad, and crushed plantains. Zingy ginger lemonade will quench your thirst on the 20-minute walk to grassy picnic spots Snow Park and Lake Merritt." - Sophie Friedman
