Westport Flea Market 817 Westport Rd Kansas City MO 64111

This is the Side View of the Flea Market.. some people call it the "Flea".  I call it LOVE. It’s my favorite place to get a cheeseburger.  For those of you that have never been there, it’s part eatery-bar-pub type place and the other part is a Flea Market.  (a chubby eBayer’s dream)  I just wish the flea market part of it was open at other times beside Saturday and Sunday.  I never seem to get down there on Saturday or Sunday. OH.. and it’s a cash only establishment..

Here’s my chef.. Look at those burgers… I’ve NEVER eaten anything else but a Flea Market Burger, Fries and Cheese Dip. NEVER… I have no idea if the other food is good. I only know that if you don’t have a cheeseburger there, I can not guarantee how happy the rest of your life will be.

The Flea Market has an interesting history: The infamous Kansas City serial killer Bob Berdella had a booth in the flea market part of the building.  He was a real freak show.. (as serial killers are).. I would tell my mother I had a "Berdella Burger" just to freak her out. 

I also bought a pair of 6" clear heel shoes there for a 1.00 and sold them for 30.00 on eBay!

I prefer to have some of their orange sauce (Thousand Island Dressing) and a tomato on my burger.  How much does this bad boy cost? about 6.95.. but how can you put a price on L O V E ?

 Here’s #1’s burger.. she puts jack cheese, mustard, mayo, ketchup and pickles on her burger..

OOOH.. don’t forget their cheese sauce.  So good with some fries..

Tuesday is 2 for 1 night on the burgers..

MMM… Heaven… I love this place so much, I’ve asked the man to take me there for Mother’s Day..

Mighty Good Q = Oklahoma Joes Barbeque

Where: Oklahoma Joes Barbeque

11950 Strang Line Road Olathe, KS

I am from the Mid-West, and was born in Kansas City.  To say that I love Barbeque doesn’t really cover it.  I’ve even dreamed about Barbeque.  One of my favorite resteraunts is Oklahoma Joes.  I’ve never been to the original Oklahoma Joes.  It’s in Shawnee, Kansas (a suburb of KC) and in a gas station or something..

 I would have taken a photo of the outside of the building, but it was dark when I arrived.. so no outside of the building photos for you..

There is usually a line when you walk in the place.. and on this night there was a line.  Wait time is usually only 5-15 minutes. (so don’t let the line scare you)

I should tell you I order the same thing every time I go.. a Z man sandwich and fries.  This is a Z man.. Barbeque beef brisket, on a toasted bun with cheese and onion ring on top.  It is so good.

I like sauce.. but to me Barbeque is about the meat… this meat is fall-apart-tender.. and the flavors.. are so good.

The Man varies what he gets.. this day he had a Hog Heaven.  Polish Sausage, and pulled pork.

I love the fries and I love the onion rings. When you order the fries at Oklahoma Joes they give you more than enough to share. The Man and I always share Onion rings and fries when we go.

Here’s Child #3 enjoying a Z Man

Child #2 and his Z man.. you can tell by the closed eyes.. it’s almost a religious experience for him.

I thought this was funny.. They were stickin’ it too the Man..

Oklahoma Joes Z-man sandwich was the inspiration for my Z-Man Grilled Pizza.  Watch for it.. I’ll be making it soon.
