- A lovely lunch at Flip Burger, "fine dining between two buns," the menu conceived by Atlanta's own Richard Blais of Top Chef 4 fame (but a well-respected chef before then). Friend Leisa got the vegetarian wild mushroom and swiss "burger" and I went the more pedestrian route with a bacon and cheese burger. (Benton's bacon was under the cheese, FLIP sauce. Yum.) Verdict? So good! I plan to go back and eat my way around the menu. - Breathing in the sweet, sweet air of early morning.

I remember Richard (I love cooking shows). I adore a bacon cheeseburger so I'm jealous and my stomach is rumbling (it's lunchtime here). I'll have to settle for a homemade ham and swiss on pumpernickel.
There is something almost magical about the early morning. It's a sense of total freshness and renewal.
Hi Talon - Your sandwich sounds pretty good to me! Love pumpernickel especially.
I keep up with Richard on Twitter - he is up to something Top Chef related today.
This morning the air just seemed so clear and sweet. Renewal is a good word for it.
I don't know. The burger sounds good (bacon cheeseburger, that is), but a gourmet burger just doesn't do it for me. Probably because to me, a gourmet burger is more like a mini-beefsteak than anythng else.
G - they even have a Kobe beef burger that costs $35!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they have beef burgers and then the Flip part - non-traditional "burgers" made of shrimp and whatnot. Richard Blais knows his way around a sauce. Pretty darn good stuff.
