by Coleman Nagai on I am new to Atlanta (from Chicago) and have just begun exploring this great city's list of culinary hot spots. After hearing about Flip Burger from a few different people a friend took me there to experience what all the hype was about. With a name like "Flip Burger" one's pre-conceived perceptions of what the restaurant will look and feel like are not even close to what one actually gets when arriving inside the actual establishment. Think classy, clubby, trendy, high-end gourmet restaurant...with a burger bent. By clubby, I mean that the place has several flat screen TVs on the back wall, surrounded by large, antique-looking picture frames painted in high-gloss white. Tables sit in rows that feel elevated so you can see (and be seen) by the whole restaurant and everyone in it. The menu is very interesting, with several burger selections that are not your everyday, run-of-the-mill,m garden variety burger. Several other reviewers have gone into great detail about what their favorites are and why, so I won't re-state the already reviewed, but I can tell you what I ordered and what my thoughts were. For starters, I had the butternut squash soup. If I go to any restaurant and they have this on the menu, I'm ordering it. I love the stuff. And I am just as astonished as you are to read this that Flip Burger had probably the very best bowl of butternut squash soup I've ever tasted...ever! From there, I ordered the Korean BBQ burger, which was quite good, but sort of just tasted like a regular burger. I didn't get much of a Korean BBQ flavor to it, other than noticing some other kind of pulled beef texture on top of the regular burger patty. I was expecting it to have more of a Korean BBQ seasoning to it than it did, but oh well...not a deal breaker. For dessert, I saw they had a Nutella or Krispy Kreme shake and found myself in a serious dilemma about which one to order. I opted for the KK shake and sure enough, it tasted like a Krispy Kreme donut had been converted into a milk shake. Unfortunately, they did use actual KK donuts in the mix, as you can taste the soggy crumbs of a donut as they leave the straw and land on your tongue. I didn't really like the crumbs in my shake experience so much, but it did taste delicious. I could only drink about a third of the shake, since it was so rich and heavy, I just couldn't make room for the rest.
by Shelby Sigmund on Being rung up for $9 tacos by 19 year old hipster boys in tight pants is never a good sign. It's like the creepy music in horror flicks warning you that the virginal cheerleader is about to meet her maker via a chainsaw. Tight pants, Ray-Bans, and Scarves on Cashier @ Taco Joint = BAD THINGS ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN! I want you to be decent Mexican food within 5 blocks of my house, Nick's, I do. But how any combination of tortillas, beans, and salsa can be so mediocre, I don't know. Your fish tacos are just adequate, leaving me to bus 45 minutes to the Mission if I want even psuedo-authentic tacos. Siiiigh...
