Burnt ends are a popular barbecue delicacy originating from Kansas City. They are typically made from the point end of a beef brisket, which is a fatty, flavorful section of the meat. After the brisket is smoked, the point end is cut into cubes, re-seasoned, and returned to the smoker to cook further. This process allows the pieces to develop a crispy, caramelized exterior while remaining tender and juicy on the inside.

Burnt ends are often served as an appetizer, on sandwiches, or as part of a barbecue platter, loved for their rich, smoky flavor and slightly sweet, tangy crust.
