Burnt Ends: Chewy or Melt in Your Mouth???
 
Just curious to see what the perception is of what most judges like when it comes to burnt ends.

At this point I am confident that I can give them anything they want, now I just have to figure out what they want.

From my perspective, they should be melt in your mouth, but not because they are a big glob of fat.

Do like I do, bite into each one before putting it into the box to make sure it's not full of fat.

Burn't ends are treated as garnish up here in the left out corner of the nation. That said...I make sure when I turn them in "as garnish" they are melt-in-your-mouth awesome!

When I took a judging class I asked Mike Lake specifically for the ideal texture of burnt ends, and he said it doesn't matter because the judges will only be judging you on the sliced brisket. I'm sure not every judge goes by this, but he said they are only included in the box as a bonus for the judges and should be treated as garnish.

I find that pretty disturbing. :mad2:

Mike taught us, if it's in the box it gets judged.

Are we talking KCBS? I definitely was not told that in the judging class I attended :crazy:

I believe you, but that just doesn't make much sense to me. To some people(including this guy) the burnt ends are the preferred part over the slices. If that is the process being used then they need to just make it a rule of sliced brisket only.
