The Story:

Every summer I get invited to events where someone has the grill going. Invariably, they have meat or veggies on a stick for everyone to enjoy. Being winter though, those skewers are put away except for at Skewed Concoctions where they have most anything available skewered and grilled.

Zach and Katay, the owners, specialize in marinated meat and veggie skewers with an Asian theme. Thai, Hawaiian, Laotian – all of these cultures and their culinary secrets are represented on the menu and more. They have pork, turkey and chicken and even large chicken wings on skewers. If you’re looking for non-meat options, you can get a papaya salad or egg rolls. There seems to be something for everyone.

One item on the menu caught my eye due to the interesting combination of fruit and pepper. The cranberry chipotle glazed turkey skewer comes with two skewers, some rice, a salad and fried egg roll. The cranberry chipotle glaze was both sweet and smoky as the name would imply. It infused the turkey well, providing a great flavor profile throughout the meat.

  1. This block has been my area to stop and grab a bite lately when headed downtown, and I always like trying something new, so I stopped by this cart and after narrowing down the choices to just one out of the many delicious looking entrees I picked the Chicken Satay. The meat was juicy and flavorful and the peanut sauce the satay came with was very tasty. The egg roll and side of veggies the meal came with also had great flavor. I normally wouldn’t finish my veggies, but I ate every last drop of these (not sure what they put on them but they had some good flavor). I will be back again. Thanks.
