We visited every BBQ Restaurant we could find in Kansas City to find the top 10 burnt ends.

I (Erica) am originally from North Central Florida, and David is from North Central Kansas. We met on 30A Florida and fell in love. The 30A name comes from a road in South Walton County (County Road 30A) that spans roughly 20 miles along the Florida Panhandle coastline. It can be found in the stretch between Destin and Panama City Beach. We got married at Camp Helen State Park in Inlet Beach, and live in Seagrove Beach on 30A, where David has resided for 14 years and we’ve resided together for 5 years. We wanted to start a YouTube Channel that would better reflect the interactions we have with the businesses and people living on 30A year round. Most videos are from real estate agents talking about the thousands of incredible multi-million dollar homes here, and the lifestyle that comes along with #beachlife. We started the 30A Misfits travelvlog to share our “real-life” experiences with locals and tourists on the Emerald Coast, and specifically 30A locals, and the millions of people that vacation on 30A in Florida every year.

In the 30A area, you'll find the beach communities of Dune Allen Beach, Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, Seagrove Beach, WaterSound, Alys Beach, Seacrest, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach.

This video however, is all about Kansas City burnt ends. Burnt ends are classically made with the point ends of a brisket, but some of the places we visited didn’t have traditional beef brisket burnt ends, they had pork burnt ends. Some had both beef and pork.

So what we decided to do was score each place on what they did best. Our scores are based on two simple factors. Texture and taste. David and I scored each place on a scale of 1-10 and then added our scores together. So here we go!

Kansas City sits on the border between Kansas and Missouri. It's actually two different cities. Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. Two different mayors, governments, planning commissions, blah blah blah. When speaking of Kansas City most people are talking about the Missouri side as it contains the tall buildings and the Chiefs and Royals. The BBQ places we visited are pretty evenly divided between both sides, and most of the time we never knew which state we were in.
