Best burnt ends
We had the wings, brisket, and burnt ends—the burnt ends were easily the best. Smoked perfectly and full of flavor.
Sides were decent but inconsistent. The cheesy potatoes were flavorful with a nice green onion touch, but too mushy. The baked beans had great flavor but were also a bit thin./Scott's Kitchen and Catering at Hangar 29
Having tried burnt ends from various barbecue spots, I can say that the ones at Scott's Kitchen and Catering really stood out due to their perfect balance of smoky flavor and tenderness. Burnt ends, which are flavorful cubes cut from the point end of a smoked brisket, are a barbecue delicacy prized for their rich, caramelized crust and juicy interior. What sets burnt ends apart is the slow smoking process that imparts deep smoky aromas while rendering the fat just right, creating that melt-in-your-mouth texture. I found that pairing them with sides like cheesy potatoes adds a comforting, creamy contrast, although texture matters—a little less mushiness in the potatoes would elevate the dish further. The baked beans, though slightly thinner in consistency than I usually prefer, still brought a pleasant sweetness and tang that complemented the smoky meat well. For those looking to recreate this experience at home, investing in a good quality smoker and using hardwood like hickory or oak can replicate those authentic smoky flavors. Additionally, seasoning the brisket generously before smoking and smoking it low and slow for several hours is key to achieving that prized burnt end texture and taste. Overall, the burnt ends here are a great testament to the art of smoking, making Scott's Kitchen and Catering a recommended stop for barbecue enthusiasts.
