First of all, Zibo is located in the north-central part of Shandong Province, with pleasant climate, abundant resources and relatively low per capita income. Therefore, barbecue, as a cheap food, is deeply loved by local people. In addition, Zibo, as a big city with coal resources, barbecue has become the main way of catering for local miners and government workers in their daily lives. These people not only maintained consumer demand, but also brought barbecue culture to the hearts of more people.
Secondly, Zibo's barbecue combines the characteristics of surrounding areas in taste and production methods, forming its own unique flavor. Zibo roast duck, for example, is very distinctive. It is not as greasy as the roast duck in the south, but roasted until the skin is slightly brown, the meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is excellent. In addition, Zibo kebabs will also put fresh almonds, raisins and other special ingredients on the skewers to make the taste more colorful.
Furthermore, barbecue shops in Zibo have formed their own unique management mode, including traditional food stalls, large chain barbecue shops or independent restaurants. Relying on Internet technology, these shops have launched their own ordering software and small programs, which greatly improved the consumption experience and promoted the inheritance and development of local barbecue culture.
Finally, the Zibo Municipal Government also actively promotes the development of the barbecue industry, such as strengthening supervision, improving hygiene standards and ensuring the health of consumers. At the same time, it also supported a number of powerful barbecue brands, created some characteristic blocks, such as Huanshan Road and He Zi Road, and formed a business circle with certain barbecue characteristics.
In a word, the sudden popularity of barbecue in Zibo is inseparable from people's pursuit of rich and varied food experiences, and it also shows the strong vitality of the local barbecue industry with distinctive and unique cultural characteristics and diversified management methods.
