Burnt Ends - A BBQ Delicacy

The name "Burnt Ends" may give a person the wrong first impression of this mouth-watering treat. It may sound as if Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is offering meat that has been over-cooked, but on the contrary, a Burnt Ends' perfectly executed extra time in the smoker is what makes it one of the best pieces of BBQ you'll ever put into your mouth! 


It all starts with the brisket. 
If you're a fan of the Beef Brisket created at our Des Moines BBQ restaurant, then you're going to love our Burnt Ends. We begin the cooking process by generously rubbing the brisket with our secret house seasonings. Next, it's slow-smoked over hickory for ten hours, then carefully sliced to ensure the most mouthwatering, tender meat possible. We don't stop there, though...

From "trash" to Treasure!
While the center of the beef brisket is cooked perfectly, the pointy tips end up cooking faster, giving them a charred and burnt appearance, thus the name "Burnt Ends." Many years ago, most cooks would cut them off and toss them into the trash, and a few kept them around to flavor other dishes. Lucky for all of us, rather than cutting them off and tossing them aside, someone decided to give them a try, and that person discovered a true treat indeed! 

These pieces of beef may not be the prettiest food you've ever seen (although we do make a nice looking plate of them!) but they are sure to be one of the tastiest. Once our Wobbly Boots BBQ Burnt Ends are cut off the brisket, we cover them in extra rub, our house BBQ sauce, and Guinness beer, then we re-smoke them for hours, ensuring a tender, flavorful, one-of-a-kind piece of beef! The extra bit of smoking that these ends receive gives them an extremely intense, delicious, smoky flavor. 


How will you have yours? 
Our Burnt Ends are available under the *Best in the Midwest* BBQ Sandwiches and Smoked Meat Plates section of our menu. The sandwich is served wet (with the sauce it was smoked in) on a fresh toasted bun and comes with one or our famous side dishes. 

If you don't need the bun, just that savory, hickory-smoked meat, we're happy to serve it up to you that way too! We'll still give you a slice of Texas Toast plus two of our home style side dishes. Our smoked meat plates are available with one, two, or even three different meat choices.  



So, is your mouth watering yet? We smoke our meats daily here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, and we're open 7 days a week at 11 am, ready to serve you the best BBQ in the Des Moines area. Stop in soon and give our amazing Burnt Ends a try. It just may be your new favorite meal!
