Yes, we said, “Meat on a stick.” Just get all your immature giggling out now (we did plenty putting the list together). Okay, good? Now, we don’t know why, but food placed on a stick is immediately 2-3x more appealing than it would be on a plate. Since we are men, we’ll keep the daiquiri ice pops in the freezer and skewer some beef. Here are the Web’s Best: Meat on a Stick recipes:
Beef Kebabs
Kebabs have always intrigued us because they’re basically a main dish and some sides all speared by a couple of sticks. They are the true meal on a stick. These happen to be our favorite thanks in part to the tasty marinade of honey, soy sauce, ginger and more. It’s totally acceptable to use a skewer as a toothpick after you finish, by the way.

Barbecued Chicken Kabobs
We’re kinda insulted that most recipes for food on a stick are geared towards to children. What about us adults who wanna keep our hands clean and our food portable?

Doner Kebab
You’ll need a heavy duty stick for this one, even use a fork as a stick (we believe that counts), oh, and a blowtorch. It’s British, but don’t let that scare you, it’s pretty delicious (send hate mail here). In an ideal world, you’d cut off the beef and put it in a pita, but we like to stop at step 10 and just eat it like a meat-pop on the couch. (Recipe)
