Description

A nondescript corner dining room where northeastern Chinese cooks prepare the Beijing version of Xinxiang barbecue, Feng Mao is a grill-it-yourself establishment, just like the scores of Korean barbecues that line the streets of its neighborhood. The first few times you stop by you will scarcely be allowed to so much as touch a skewer; they're made of steel and heat up to the point where a fraternity dude could probably brand half of the incoming pledge class. For a couple of bucks, you can experience what must be the winciest dish in town: a sharp, glistening steel skewer stabbed through thin coins of meat sliced from a bull penis, which bubble and hiss when they encounter the heat of the fire, sizzling from proud quarters to wizened, chewy dimes.
