A Hamburger Today
Westport Flea Market Saved!
My pal Andy in The KC sent me a link earlier this week that had me raising my greasy hands to heaven. The Westport Flea Market and Bar & Grill—a Kansas City burger favorite—will not be bounced out by a Hooter's, as had been expected.
On Monday, retiring restaurateur Mel Kleb will “pass the hamburger” at the Westport Flea Market and Bar & Grill to Joe Zwillenberg, owner of two food establishments on Main Street.
Zwillenberg already has established his devotion to midtown — plus his ability to cook a good burger. He says he’ll keep the Flea Market’s menu and funky atmosphere the same as it has been for 25 years.
Andy visited the Flea Market about a month ago to write an appreciation piece for AHT. I'll see if I can scare that up from him. In the meantime, take a look at his Flickr photo set on the joint: Westport Flea Market
Burger lovers, rejoice! [The Kansas City Star.]
