Burnt ends are awesome - my hands down (or hands on!) favorite is Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas City - mouthwatering yum!

I applaud you cutting down on your meat consumption! It basically goes with Pollan's subtitle of his latest book...eat food, not too much, mostly plants. I want to add another possible step to consider when eating less meat: where/when possible, consider buying it locally from pasture-raised animal farms. Because these animals are eating food they are meant to eat (cows stomachs are meant to eat grass, not pounds and pounds of corn and grains, for example), many are less likely to fall ill and are less likely to be shot up with antibiotics to, literally, keep them standing. This video will give a better idea of this kind of farm: http://cookingupastory.com/show/raised-on-grass-pastured-fed-animals/
