Pono Farm Soul Kitchen

At the just-opened Pono Farm Soul Kitchen, the "beef" section of the menu featuers a beef kushiyaki skewer with shishito pepper, and scallion.

Kachka's earning well-deserved buzz for its zakuski preparations, but its entree menu happens to feature a grilled lamb kebab, seasoned with a khmeli suneli spice blend.

This new Thai street food restaurant takes its meat-on-a-stick game seriously: Its pork skewers and marinated and grilled, and apparently show up to the table dramatically hanging like so.

The American Local

Chef Chris Whaley's neighborhood spot the American Local has received much attention for the "skewer" section on its menu. The meatier among them: flank steak, pork belly, and guanciale-wrapped Korean rice cakes.

Ataula's Jose Chesa offers a "xupa-xup" of chorizo and goat cheese, served (like most lollipops) on a stick.

This drinking den features Beard-winning chef Naomi Pomeroy's take on the corn dog: It's made here with skewered Chinese sausage.

Literally all the meat here is served on a stick. (Technically, they're giant sticks and gauchos slice off a cut tableside, but nonetheless: Literally all the meat here is served on stick.)
