FLIP burger boutique

i went to FLIP last night with A. actually, i met A there after hellacious traffic. seriously, for awhile there i was moving a block every fifteen minutes. anyway, when i got there, A was sitting at the bar enjoying a beer.

so in case you haven't read or IMed with me lately, I am depressed. severely depressed. in fact, i'm so depressed i tried to cancel dinner with A. he wouldn't let me. so i went. i'll be honest, i didn't want to go, but now i'm glad i did.

so when i got there the place was busy but not packed. A and i were enjoying drinks when Dallas Austin comes in. I'm sure I'm getting a couple of "who's that?"s right now.

Dallas Austin is Atlanta's music man. He has worked with Janet Jackson and Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. He's a big shot. Apparently. Celebrity has never impressed me, so when he saddled up to the seats next to us at the bar, I didn't really think much of it. A on the other hand wanted to sing "Tightrope" (Kim's "song") to him. I told him I would die if he did. I could tell he wanted to bust out with "there's a tight...rope...between me...and you!" but he didn't. Thanks, dude.

The "celebrity" sightings didn't end there though. FLIP was created by Richard Blais, who was on Bravo's Top Chef. He didn't win, but apparently he's been in Atlanta cooking up magic for years. Eh.

I will say the FLIP burger I had was AMAZING. I was told to order a milkshake, but I wasn't hungry to begin with. I'll get one next time.
