A Bloomington restaurant is serving meat on a spear.

News 25's Eric Shangraw is having a meal

at Skewers Steak House in this week's You Gotta Eat.

Skewers has taken over the former Ned Kelly's location in the twin cities.
Ned's Jeep and all the outback junk on the walls is gone.
The mood is lighter. –The menu smaller.
One of the owners, Hani Sager, has run the Garden of Paradise, Bloomington's premier Greek restaurant, for almost twenty years.

"It is not your typical steakhouse. But yet it is a steakhouse. –With just a flare to it. Like I said, we just wanted to do something unique," said Hani.

"Looking at the special today I kept thinking I wanted a sandwich. I ended up with this awesome salad. Get the salad. It is the Medallion salad. It melts in your mouth," said customer Tami McGowan.

Photographer Doug Smith and I started with a carefully diced salad, which came with fresh baked bread. No loafing with this cooked dough, it features an herb butter glaze.
We also split a Mango Shrimp Martini. The prongs are not shaken or stirred, just deep fried with a sweet chili sauce.
Doug created his own surf and turf skewer from the menu. He combined steak, scallops and shrimp. –The red meat top of the line Chicago stockyard beef. My meat on a spear consisted of two four–ounce pieces of tender steak surrounding a display of flawlessly seasoned Baby Yukon potatoes. –A spectacular roasted spud. The skewers and knives look like weapons at the dinner table. But the only crime I committed was not having enough room to finish every bite. Our bill: with drinks, 36–dollars plus tip. Skewers is a new culinary bulls eye in Bloomington.
