Flip Burger Boutique ☆☆☆☆

            Last weekend, as a fraternal rush event, I was treated to lunch at Flip Burger Boutique. Surprisingly, the restaurant had a thirty-minute wait, even though it was 3:45pm on a Sunday afternoon. Flip Burger Boutique has a very great reputation on Emory campus, often compared to Yeah Burger, Farm Burger, and Wonderful World. It has a unique modern style, which redefines the conventional burger. The restaurant mixes a fine dining experience with gourmet ingredients, creating a novel and pure energy in their dishes.

            Flip Burger’s chef, Richard Blais, is one of the nations most renowned chefs. He has been on countless Food Network and Top Chef television series and is well known for his innovative and redefining style. After eating a Flip Burger, I saw exactly for myself what all the hype was about. He takes a conventional burger and adds gourmet dishes on top of it.

            The menu was short and diverse. Nevertheless, it was an easy decision for me to pick the Philly Burger. I have always loved the combination of cheese, steak, onions and mushroom. The burger was composed of shaved top sirloin, caramelized onions, mushrooms, green bell peppers, ketchup, and an extremely light and fluffy house-made cheese wiz. The mixture between both the burger patty and the shaved top sirloin made for a great combination.

Nutella and Burnt Marshmallow Liquid N2 Milkshake

            From word of mouth, I heard to get one of Flip Burger’s liquid N2 milkshakes. The milkshake menu contains bizarre ingredients: Nutella and burnt marshmallow, Krispy Kreme, and Captain Crunch and peanut butter foam. I’m personally a huge Nutella fan, so I decided to go with the Nutella shake. The shake was beautiful and delicious. The Nutella was evenly blended into the shake, without compromising the smoothness or drinkability. On top of the shake were the burnt marshmallows, which added an even more creamy taste and triggered a nostalgic desire for s’mores. Overall, Flip Burger Boutique was a great place to eat for both its atmosphere and for its unconventional food dishes. However, it was a little bit pricey for the small amount of food they give you. So if you're looking to eat a lot, this is not the right place. But if you're looking for something with great taste and novelty, Flip Burger Boutique is the place to go.
