I was overjoyed to hear that one of my favorite New York City barbecue joints is back open for business today. RUB (Righteous Urban Barbecue) was closed for a week while its owner, Andrew Fischel, was getting hitched in sunny Costa Rica and the dining room was getting some renovations. I can now quench my jones for burnt ends, and no longer have to use the above photo to fantasize about the object of my barbecue desire. RUB has the distinction of being the only 'cue spot in New York City serving burnt ends, which are as ubiquitous in Kansas City as hot dogs are in New York. Burnt ends consist of the deckle or cap of the brisket that's been smoked and then cut into chunks of crusty, meaty goodness. Words fail me. I'm off to Chelsea to sate my carnivorous cravings.

RUB is not the only 'cue spot in NYC serving burnt ends. Not that it's fabulous BBQ, but I had burnt ends at Brothers Jimmy's last week, It's on the menu.

Burnt ends, best of all barbecued dishes. When in KC, go to Jack Stack first, then Bryant's. Jack Stack is clean with great service, while Bryant's is a classic greasy floor barbecue joint. Get to Jack Stack BBQ early to avoid the wait.
