#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.
