I drove through KC once in my life and stopped at a whim at a BBQ place. No idea what burnt ends were, I asked the girl behind the counter and she convinced me. Easily the most delicious and tender thing I've ever eaten in my life and this video brought a tear to my eye bringing back that memory.
Nicely done. I'm an old guy and KC native that has tried burnt ends at every BBQ joint in town. Some better than others but I've never had "bad" burnt ends. Simply one of those go to comfort meals that never disappoints. Score prediction, 35-31 Chiefs.
You can’t fool me I’m a football fan too lol. Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl and this video comes out. Coincidence I think not. Looks incredible awesome video.
Tom... great video and instructions. I live in Kansas City and you have given a great road map for the BEST game day food. For the BEST Superbowl. Go Chiefs
CHEF TOM!!!!! Did this today!!! While my knife skills in separating the the point from the flat leave MUCH to be desired the end result does not!! Known in my neighborhood for wonderful smoked eats from my traeger, the immediate praise for THESE Burnt Ends would make you proud! BTW - the flat is in the briner bucket - next week...PASTRAMI!!! Thanks, Tom!!
Wow! Great video there buddy thanks for sharing! I’m heading to KC in about a month and can’t wait to try all the greats. You mentioned Plowboys, they are on my list already thanks to a local who recommended them.
For those who've been asking, here's link to the Camo Apron that Chef Tom has been wearing in this & other videos lately: www.atbbq.com/accessories/apparel/aprons/digital-camo-apron.html
not sure this ended up on my feed, but am i glad it did! as a lifelong KC resident, i verify this as a legit burnt end recipe (not that Chef Tom needs my approval 😀). Burnt Ends are my favorite choice at any local bbq establishment. Chef, your breakdown top to bottom, from splitting the point and flat all the way to reapplying a little smoke and heat to set the sauce is the best instuctional video for burnt ends on youtube. HANDS DOWN!! you have a new subscriber now and i look forward to watching your past and future videos.
Great video as always. Clear instructions for us to follow. Looking forward to this weekend for burnt ends. Maybe Super Bowl weekend also. Thank you again!
Yes T, great terminology! The strands between the muscle (bovine pectoralis muscle is this case) we surgeons call areolar tissue. So, cut within the areolar tissue.
Looks great. Did you rest the point at all before cubing them? I’d like to try this but not sure how much time to give in between, assuming it’s needed (but hopefully not as long as a full brisket).
What in the wild, wild, world of sports is goin' on here? Looks amazing, it's on my Superbowl menu - Go KC! What kind of a person voites this video a "thumbs down"?
I'd love to see you guys make your own bacon. I tried it a few times, and had semi-decent results. Maybe go over a few different techniques, like dry rub, and brining, etc.
Chef Tom!! I love your videos and have learned a ton from you! Thank you for these videos. Have you ever made burnt ends with tri tip? Would it be as good as this or is it to lean of a cut? Thanks for your time Chef Tom.
Tony, we're thrilled you found your way to us. Thanks for enjoying what we do. I think you'd find a Tri-Tip to be too lean in order to yield something close to Burnt Ends. Have you watched our Pork Belly Burnt Ends video yet? If not, it's definitely worth a try: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qX-3LgMwpA0.html
It's been -15F here in Alaska this past 3 weeks. Once it warms up I feel like I need to smoke a brisket. I picked up some of that Bovine Bold seasoning and used it on a prime rib, turned out legit. I wanna try it on brisket and do some burnt ends.
Nate, thanks for watching our channel - really glad you've found your way to us. Perhaps you could give this a try on your own? Can you find a brisket locally? What sort of outdoor cooking equipment do you have available?
allthingsbbq Hi there. I’ve been watching for years now. I could find a brisket but I’ve never prepared anything close to a brisket. I also have no outdoor cooking equipment. My only option is to take a vacation in the US 😂
Man dude,I learn something new every time I watch. I separate the 2 meats but never really sure if I've done it correctly.(I think I do). Now I'm gonna try it this way and see what happens...no brown sugar or honey?🤔
Brian, you can watch to your hearts desire, or you can click the link in the video description for the full recipe and products used in the video. Enjoy!
Looks great but I’ve been eating brisket in Texas for my entire life and have never heard of burnt ends until a couple of years ago and then have never seen what it actually was until I watched your channel
Hey Chef Tom - I'm a big fan and love all your videos. I'm definitely looking forward to give this recipe for KC burnt ends a try soon! As for a future video have you ever considered making Montreal-style smoked meat? Having visited Montreal a few times it's a pretty simple but fantastic smoked meat sandwich. Cheers!
Hey Tom, love your videos. As I’m still learning on my Yoder, could you mention where you have the pull out/push in plate for this and other recipes. Thank you.
Hi Awesome video. I live in Scotland and have got a Kamado Joe Classic. I am having a BBQ for about 30 people soon but could you advise can I cook these in advance up to the point of saucing, chill down then on the day sauce and reheat. Thanks
@allthingsbbq I live in KCK, right off 11th and State and very near Slaps BBQ as well as Gates Bar B-Q which are just a few minutes from me. We love our Burnt Ends here in Kansas City. Yours look great! Sadly, it's a very long process so many of the places here in KC give you broken up and pulled brisket and call it burnt ends and I am not even kidding. You would be surprised how many places do this. Arthur Bryant's BBQ does this. Also, another very sad thing happening here in KC is the portion size. It's constantly shrinking. It's very expensive to get BBQ and many places are limiting your side of meat to around 2 to 2.5 ounces. That's about 5 or 6 burnt ends and they are not huge chunks. 8 years ago, you would get 4 to 5+ ounces per meat side. I should know, I belong to a BBQ club here in KC and have friends who are official BBQ judges. Fun fact, I've ate at the original home of the Burnt End, a place called Sneads BBQ in South KC. They went on their menu back in the 1950's and were called "brownies" ... they have one of their original menu's in a glass case as you walk into the place. Not sure where you are located but if you ever come thru Kansas City I want you to try Danny Edwards BBQ, get their 3 meat plate and have them sub more brisket instead of chicken which they are happy to do. Stay away from places like Q39 and some of the other very expensive pretentious BBQ places where you actually leave hungry. Boy I could talk about this subject all day. Kansas City Joes has extremely fatty Burnt Ends that you can only get on certain days. It's literally what they trim off brisket with a focus NOT to cut any of the brisket meat so you're really left with a less focused "burnt end" ... they are kinda disgusting actually. I think they only smoke their brisket 3 or 4 days a week. I forget what their pit master told me exactly. A few other great places for Burnt Ends is Hawg Jaw Brew and Que as well as Brobecks BBQ. About the best BBQ in Kansas City is probably going to be Jack Stack but they are the most expensive but their flavor and consistency cannot be beat. If you want to bring some Kansas City BBQ flavor to your doorstep, order Slaps BBQ Sauce and Mamaws BBQ Sauce from Hawg Jaw. They are simply phenomenal.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out. It's get to get a true KC resident's perspective on trustworthy BBQ. Thanks for watching & supporting what we do.
I’m doing brisket for our Easter dinner. Ppl are requesting burnt ends. Would you recommend separating the flat and point and cooking separately or together? Cheers from WPG, MB, CA 😐
I’m hoping to learn how to cook the delicacies of my homeland, but don’t know where to start (haven’t done a lot of cooking) is there a small smoker you recommend to start out with?
