San Diego’s near-perfect climate means picnic outings don’t have to be reserved for just the summer months. Whether it is staged at a favorite waterside spot, a neighborhood park or backcountry retreat, an outdoors repast can be an anytime indulgence. Here are some San Diego spots where we can get back in touch with our skewering roots, from traditional Japanese meats grilled over charcoal to Turkish and Brazilian kabobs. Japanese Yakitori bar with grilled meats on-a-stick. Try its unique cuts of meat, provided on two sticks per order, most for under $5, and of a quality you won’t find on a Sysco delivery truck.

This place stacks Persian-style kabobs with veggie and meat hunks.

I hear they’re more like swords than skewers. The Beef Kofte Kebab is charbroiled ground beef clinging to a wooden spear and delish, if not a tad salty. This churrascaria — Brazilian barbecue — serves the meat sizzling hot, on skewers, in a dining room parade that’s part service, part carnival. You can pick from dozens of meat, seafood and vegetable options to cook in a vat of flavorful broth at your table. Try the spicy, skewered meat classic called sate. Enjoy the sushi, but leave room for grilled albacore skewers. You come to this La Jolla food fest on the days that skewered foods just won’t do.
