flip this

We spent the next few days shopping and grabbing some eats, one of them being Flip Burger Boutique on Howell Mill.

This Top Chef competitor, Richard Blais, is the chef of the restaurant.

We'd heard great things and decided Kate's visit would be the perfect outing to try it. The interior was super cool and modern and the place was packed out. Cooper was semi-not cooperating once the food came so I had to borrow all these pics from online.

The burgers were seriously to DIE for, excellent. Probably the best burger I've ever had.
My pick - butcher’s cut
caramelized onion, bleu cheese, red wine jam, frisée, pickled shallots
Steve's pick - rBQ
pulled brisket, flip slaw, rBQ sauce, smoked mayo
Kate's pick - bacon + cheese
benton’s bacon, american cheese, pickled onion, lettuce, marinated tomato, sweet pickles, ketchup, flipsauce

The onion rings were the bomb, the perfect amount of thin-cut onion with a nice and crispy thin batter exterior. AND the big rage as well are the shakes - Krispy Creme Donut Shake (Steve's choice), Nutella and Burnt Marshmellow (my choice) and classic Turtle (Kate's choice). Indeed a great night a food. Go there.

I am SO jealous!! Blais is my favorite contestant on Top Chef these days (I'm a few weeks behind so I am hoping he's still in it).

Anyways, you guys made some AWESOME choices....everything sounds SO good. I am happy to live vicariously through ya'll going to Flip.
