"The former soul food pop-up is a staple in the Emeryville Public Market, and for good reason: Fernay McPherson makes an excellent rosemary fried chicken that’s lightly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Don’t be surprised when you end up Googling “Minnie Bell’s Rosemary Fried Chicken recipe” after devouring it - you won’t be the first. Get the four-piece combo (they also have two- and eight-pieces), which comes with dense cornbread and two sides - make sure the life-changing mac and cheese is one of them." - julia chen 1, lani conway
