Burnt-ends cheesecake!

Aside from being really great at his job and making my job so much easier, my coworker John Lakavage is a huge connoisseur of Texas BBQ. Yesterday at the office, he brought a cheesecake that he made. Not just any cheesecake, though. He made it with Freedman's Bar burnt ends that he candied. I wasn't there for the initial cutting, but I made it before it was all gone. Some pics:
