Plowboys Nominated for USA Today 2016 Readers’ Choice Best Burnt End Sandwich in Kansas/Missouri
Published on May 06, 2016 | Category: Awards, Press
Burnt ends are what you call the pieces of meat cut from the part of a smoked brisket often referred to as the flat. Parts of the brisket, like the point, take longer to fully cook and the “ends” can become crispy or burnt by the time the point is fully cooked. Sometimes the flat is removed when it is done and the point is returned to the smoker for further cooking. This part of the brisket is considered a delicacy in the barbecue world – particularly in and around Kansas City – and is often made into delicious sandwiches. Many try to recreate burnt ends by recooking parts of the flat, but for those who have had these true nuggets of barbecue gold, there is no comparison. 10Best and Sandwich America recruited a panel of local foodies to nominate their favorite burnt ends sandwiches in Missouri and Kansas, and now it’s your turn to pick a winner! Vote once per day until voting ends on Monday, June 6 at noon ET.
Plowboys Restaurant has its roots in competition barbecue. In 2001 two brothers started Pork Pullin Plowboys, a competition team that won its first Grand Championship in 2007. Plowboys Restaurant was soon to follow. Available only at the downtown Blue Springs location and only on Wednesdays and Fridays, Plowboys burnt ends are made from Angus beef seasoned with Bovine Rub and smoked for nine hours.
