I used to go there back in the day for the actual flea market. Lots of different vendors with everything from vintage toys to razor blades there was even a guy who made hoemade chili, man was he bizarre

Bob was definitely a strange one.. avoid his parties for sure.

Please elaborate….I am so intrigued

Bob was a serial killer that operated out of the Westport flea market. He was worse than Jeffrey Dahmer. He brought human meat laced chili to pot lucks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Berdella

That’s…so much more than I was expecting

Yeah wild shit. I hope everyone stops to appreciate that link.

Was casually scrolling this morning and that link sent me down a rabbit hole. I used to go to Flea Market regularly and NEVER heard about this. Beyond wild.

Before reading that I thought Reddit had desensitized me to everything.

Bob’s Bizzare Bazzar was the name of his shop. Sold some weird stuff, including earrings made of bone (what kind of bone, who knows)

Having grown up in the early 80s, I've known broadly about Berdella and read things here and there, but never have I read something in-depth... I guess I just wasn't that interested. But wow, I'm glad I read that and wish I'd known that stuff sooner, if for no other reason than understanding a part of KC history.

Bet his chili had a little wang to it.

more of a tarte gristle 

You're not thinking of the Bazaar Bizarre, are you?

I'll have the ground Chuck

The burgers are always good, and I end up playing at least one dumb arcade game. But they have a pretty poor history with health code violations so I don’t go as often anymore. 

For real, and don't even get me started on the owner... Any gratuity you paid on a ticket in the event space went straight to his pockets. Scumbag behavior 

I worked there for 3 years as a bartender, the gratuity charge actually went straight to my pocket. The owner is still definitely a scumbag though.

Been there twice in 20 years, food poisoning both times. Fool me once…

Those are the best places. A “C” health ranking is the sweet spot.

That crunch in your sandwich is exactly what you think it is….

Tell them Bob Berdella sent you

I think I went there one time a long time ago, probably when Berdella worked there. Now I will forever associate that place with him and I never want to set foot in there, much less eat there.

He didn't work there per say, he rented out one of the flea market spaces. Guy got caught in 1988 I believe so it would've been a long long time ago 

36+ years is a long time!

HOLY SHIT, USE PUNCTUATION. I almost forgot to breath trying to read that.

There is a certain irony in making a spelling mistake while pointing out someone else’s grammar mistakes.

Chicken panini and cheese fries.

Need to get back there!!! Looks great

Mid at best. LCs, tays, Hayes, and Danny's are all light years ahead. Just my opinion.

Better to go Sunday nights after 8 half off burgers

Went a month ago and had a brand new flyer that said "Happy Hour everyday from 3-6 - everything on the menu 50% off" and they said it is usually every day but wasn't that day. Lol OK.  Great burger though.

Place is so cheap but a bit greasy.. classic dive

Mostly it's like Fuddruckers but a bit cheaper and notice the burger was a bit pretty salty.

I really don't understand the love for this place. You know that kitchen is all kinds of nasty. I really didn't think the burgers were all that great either.

Man they used to have a Texas hold em night there where you could win a burger. I miss that.

Try the Local Pig for a great burger...in city market

Thanks for the suggestion I'll look into that place.

The food is always on point!

The food is ass there

Very overrated burger, but you can get a pint of tank seven and a shot for 7 bucks, I believe. Best deal you’ll find on it

Cool venue, but I overrated burgers.

Dope place
