BBQ Crawl Season 2 Episode 11 KC Strip Steak, Burnt End Chili and Team Diva Q

In this episode of BBQ Crawl, host Danielle Dimovski - also known as "Diva Q" - heads to Kansas City, Missouri, to explore the city's famous barbecue scene. First, she visits a restaurant called Q39, where she feasts on a mouthwatering KC Strip Steak cooked to perfection on a wood-fired grill. The chef demonstrates his expertise in cooking the perfect steak, explaining the importance of seasoning, searing, and resting the meat to ensure a juicy and flavorful meal.

Next, Diva Q heads to Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que to sample some of the city's iconic burnt end chili. Burnt ends are the crispy, smoky pieces of meat that come from the ends of a brisket, and they add a unique flavor and texture to the chili. The chili is slow-cooked with a combination of spices and served with cornbread - a perfect comfort food for a cold day.

Finally, Diva Q meets up with Danielle "Diva Dan" Bennett, a fellow barbecue enthusiast and the captain of Team Diva Q. They visit a competition where they are judged on their ability to cook three different types of meat: chicken, ribs, and brisket. Diva Dan shares some of her tips and tricks for achieving perfect barbecue, including using a good quality wood and keeping a consistent temperature in the smoker.

Throughout the episode, Diva Q marvels at the passion and dedication of the Kansas City barbecue community. She learns about the different cooking techniques, flavors, and traditions that have made KC a legendary barbecue destination. From the perfectly cooked steak to the savory burnt end chili to the competition-worthy brisket, this episode of BBQ Crawl is a feast for the senses and a celebration of the art of barbecue.
