Beijing isn't just a place to try bizarre street food — it's also the perfect city to sample all the regional cuisines of China in one place. The capital is home to all 55 official Chinese ethnic groups, as well as several unofficial ones, and there are restaurants to satisfy each groups' craving for a taste of home. You can find Tibetan, Guizhouan, Sichuan, Manchurian, even Uzbek, which isn't actually part of China but shares a border and sends plenty of migrant workers Beijing's way.
If there's a specific regional cuisine you'd like to sample, the concierge at the St. Regis Beijing should be able to point you to a good place to find it. Or you could seek out the restaurants run by the governments of the various provinces. The Sichuan Governmental Canteen is known for its fine representation of the region's fiery cuisine.
