“I remember the first time I saw my dad barbecue,” Armen Martirosyan says as he scrubs the grill at Mini Kabob inside the Westfield Topanga shopping center’s recently opened Topanga Social food hall.

Kabobs are one of the best foods to throw on the grill. They're full of flavor and easily customizable whether you're skewering dry-rubbed steak, marinated chicken, or tender and sweet summer squash.
