NATIONAL BURNT ENDS DAY | SEPTEMBER 1
Are you ready for some flavor and sauce? Then National Burnt Ends Day on September 1st is your BBQ celebration!
#NationalBurntEndsDay
Once considered trimmings or left-overs, burnt ends come from the point of a brisket. 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 required for tender brisket. As a result, these thinner points become a little charred and tougher than the rest of the meat.
Don’t let that description deter you, though. As a tradition in the Kansas City area, they’ve mastered burnt ends and a taste for them has spread across the country.
Delicious on their own, burnt ends also taste amazing on sandwiches and in stews. They can be sweet, spicy, and of course smoky. A hint of hickory or cherry tantalizes the senses. No wonder there is an entire day to celebrate!
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL BURNT ENDS DAY
Celebrate the day by sampling burnt ends! That’s not the only way to celebrate, though.

If you’re ever able to afford a Prime Rib Dinner again, here’s my little tip: Ask for an End Cut and just get the ‘Queen’ size. It will be well-done but it will be a HUGE piece of meat, because no one every asks for it.
I’ve done that in the past, and there is always enough left over for Eggs and Prime Rib for Two the next morning. :)
I’ll have to take out a second mortgage.....................
So popular no joint ever seems to have any.
Pork McNuggets................
Where I go (about 2x per week) they make the best pork belly burnt ends. Perfect balance of fat and meat, mostly tangy but slightly sweet.
Yeah, my Prime Rib Days are numbered too, LOL!
A local restaurant gives us Vets a free Prime Rib dinner on Veteran’s Day - that’s been a nice treat. :)
