Noticing burnt ends as a new menu item, I decided to try them in addition to my rib order! Apparently burnt ends are made from the tougher, more fatty, section of the brisket. Pete smokes this brisket part for over 20 hours and the taste is simply out of this world: smokey, moist, tender, and tasty. My DC fervently searched for the crispy carmelized "fatty" pieces, which she described as as decadent as foie gras. I concur. From now on, I'm only going to order burnt ends at this great barbecue joint. While sides are only so so (imho), I believe Uncle Pete's barbecue is the best in New England. And don't forget to try the unique chicken wings! Wed Sep 12 09:30:45 -0700 2007 28241 CambridgeFoodie 1 2934317 Burnt ends are my favorite. So where is Uncle Pete's? Wed Sep 12 09:36:43 -0700 2007 2934300 66281 ginnyhw 2 2934395 Uncle Pete's is located at 72 Squire Road (Rte 60) in Revere MA. You can view their website at: www.unclepetes.com/ Wed Sep 12 09:55:55 -0700 2007 2934317 50594 buffet king 1 2934637 Saw the burnt ends story in the Herald today. Fabulous addition to their already-amazing pork spare ribs and Texas beef ribs. Not the best sides in the world, but when I go for BBQ, meat is what matters most.

When I go for BBQ I want ribs, brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken and then some sides. Wed Sep 12 10:57:19 -0700 2007 2934637 50594 buffet king 3 2934844 Sounds like my Pats' tailgates. Meat, meat, game meat, sausage meat, cow meat, gout. And on very, very rare occasion, aspargus or morels. Wed Sep 12 11:44:07 -0700 2007 2934659 16490 Bostonbob3 4 2934886 Asparagus is a good source of folic acid, potassium, fiber and rutin. You need some fiber in your body. Wed Sep 12 11:54:30 -0700 2007 2934844 50594 buffet king 5 2935119 But it doesn't taste like meat. :)) I actually love grilled aspargus. Grilled wild mushrooms, too. Morels are especially good when grilled after stuffing the cavity with some sort of meat. Wed Sep 12 12:47:00 -0700 2007 2934886 16490 Bostonbob3 2 2934801 I've mostly found the sides mostly okay at Uncle Pete's when I've gone, though the Asian slaw was really delicious.

Will definitely try the burnt ends Wed Sep 12 15:27:03 -0700 2007 2935534 11057 macca 5 2936269 Corn bread? All I've ever gotten is that sweet potato hockey puck, um, I mean biscuit! Love their onion rings and bbq beans though. Wed Sep 12 18:19:10 -0700 2007 2935779 15882 PrincessBakesALot 1 2937028 Don't forget the burnt ends at Blue Ribbon. Occasionally dry, but usually great.
