What the Heck is a Burnt End?

While the name makes it sound like a cooking mistake that should never find its way to the table, a burnt end is actually a sought-after barbecue delicacy.  The best BBQ restaurant near Des Moines knows this first hand.  Our burnt ends are a very popular menu item, but we still get a lot of people wondering what the heck it is and how in the world it got that unattractive name.  



The best description of a burnt end is the flavorful pieces of meat cut from the point half of a smoked brisket.  A Wobbly Boots beef brisket spends a large amount of time in the smoker to give it the incredible flavor that it is known for. The pointy tips end up cooking faster than the center and drying up, looking charred and burnt.  That is where the name comes from.  They aren't always the prettiest food, but they are most definitely one of the tastiest that you will ever have the pleasure of putting in your mouth.  


A long time ago most cooks would throw them away or save them to use as flavoring for other dishes.  Some even gave them away from free.  These soon became sought-after pieces of meat.  The extra cooking time allowed for an extremely intense, delicious smoky flavor.  It didn't take too terribly long to finally realize that the burnt ends weren't something to throw out, but rather a dish that people wanted to eat.  

Here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, our burnt ends are extra-smoked, seasoned, and seared.  We carve these enticing beef chunks right from the brisket point and serve them up to you with our award-winning house recipe BBQ sauce.  Whether you choose to eat them on a sandwich or have us serve you up a big ol' plate of them, you are guaranteed a flavorful treat.  




Don't let the name fool you.  It doesn't sound pretty, but you better believe it's some of the best bbq near Des Moines that you will ever have the pleasure of eating.  Stop by Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Clive soon and try them for yourself.
