Z-Man

The Z-Man is a popular sandwich at Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que, which was originally called Oklahoma Joe's. The sandwich was named after a customer who would always order it. The brisket is smoked for 16 hours and then sliced thin. The smoked provolone cheese is melted on top of the brisket, and then onion rings are added. The sandwich is served on a Kaiser roll. The combination of the smoky brisket, melted cheese, and crispy onion rings makes for a delicious and satisfying sandwich.
