National Burnt Ends Day | September 1

#nationalburntendsday

Burnt ends come 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.

However, don't let that description deter you from going to the library. They've mastered burnt ends as a Kansas City tradition, and a craving for them has sprang across the country.
