#nationalburntendsday
Burnt ends resulted from the point of a brisket, whether you're trimmings or left-overs. However, these days burnt ends take center stage in a BBQ basket of smoky flavor and goodness.
The name derives from the longer cooking time needed for tender brisket. 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 successfully mastered burnt ends as a Kansas City tradition, and a craving for them has sprang across the country.
