The American Royal, Zarda BBQ, and Hy-Vee are once again partnering to celebrate National Burnt Ends Day – on Tuesday, September 1, 2026! This delicious holiday was founded in 2021 by Zarda Bar-B-Q and the American Royal to promote Kansas City’s world-famous barbecue cuisine and culture.
Zarda is celebrating National Burnt Ends Day this year with a $7.99 Ltd. Reserve Burnt End Sandwiche – that’s five and a half bucks off the regular price at both Zarda locations in Blue Springs and Lenexa.
What’s more, all area Hy-Vee Market Grilles, are offering the same $7.99 deal – for just one day only, Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
A portion of the proceeds from every sale of Zarda’s Ltd. Reserve Burnt End Sandwich on National Burnt Ends Day will be donated to support the American Royal’s Scholarship Fund.
Allysa King, director of communciations at the American Royal noted, “National Burnt Ends Day is more than just a celebration of great barbecue. It is a way to connect Kansas City’s rich barbecue tradition and love of barbecue with the future of agriculture. When you purchase a burnt ends sandwich on September 1, you are not just enjoying one of KC’s favorite flavors; you are also helping us invest in and support the next generation of agricultural leaders.”
Zarda Bar-B-Q Chief Operating Officer Terry Hyer adds, “We believe food connects people, so Zarda is absolutely thrilled to again celebrate National Burnt Ends Day with a delicious deal on our Ltd. Reserve Burnt End sandwich – just $7.99! – along with a donation to promote and support the American Royal Scholarship Fund,” “A made-in-KC classic, Burnt Ends are a great representation of one of the great things about KC barbecue. There’s a lot of creativity and pride within the Kansas City barbecue community, and National Burnt Ends Day is a great way to bring this to the national forefront.”
