About

Muslim Snack Street of Xi'an has a traditional eatery called Liu Family Gan Bang Kao Rou, which uses only cumin and chili to flavor their skewers, resulting in a nostalgic taste of childhood barbecue. Over the decades, the dry sticks have become a beloved classic. Meanwhile, in Huangpi, a young couple runs Xiangxi Jishou BBQ. The husband, a former bar singer, entertains guests while the wife, known as the "butter Western beauty," grills the signature dish, roast beef with butter, which has a rich yet non-greasy texture and a mouth-watering aroma. Sprinkled with red chili powder, the spicy and salty Xiangxi flavor has won over many diners in Wuhan who typically prefer milder fare.
