#nationalburntendsday

Burnt ends result from the point of a brisket and can be considered trimmings or left-overs. However, these days, burnt ends take center stage in a BBQ basket of smoky flavor and goodness..

The name comes from the longer cooking time needed for tender brisket. As a result, these thinner points become a little charred and tougher than the majority of the meat.

But don't let that description deter you. They've developed burnt ends as a Kansas City tradition, and a craving for them has sprang across the country.

Delicious on their own, burnt ends also taste amazing on sandwiches and in stews, and in stews. They can be sweet, spicy, and of course smoky. A hint of hickory or cherry tantalizes the senses.. There's no wonder there's a whole day to celebrate!
