Have you heard of this one? It’s a burger joint, called Flip Burger Boutique. I’ve been hearing talk about it here in Birmingham and there’s a new one at The Summit, so I took hubby there for lunch on a recent Friday. 
Very cosmopolitan, this is the ceiling that greets you inside the front door. Definitely an urban vibe going on and not your typical burger joint at all. Apparently, lots of folks were dying to try it too, as it was very crowded. 
I knew it would be pricey and it was a bit on the expensive side for hamburgers and fries, but worth it for an occasional splurge. The coffee milkshake was delish! Some of the other milkshake flavors are Krispy Kreme and Nutella. Not your average milkshake either.
For $12, we opted for the combo: Cheeseburger, fries and shake.
The food really was tasty and we enjoyed our lunch very much. Looking at their website, it appears that they are only in Atlanta and Birmingham at the moment, so you AL and GA girls can check them out if you get the chance.
There’s nothing better than a tasty burger and fries, definitely one of my all-time favorite foods!
(I was not compensated or asked to write this post by Flip Burger Boutique in any way. These are my own opinions after visiting the new restaurant).

In other news, I’m happy to announce a brand new magazine that is in the works, by style expert, Matthew Mead and joined by Linda MacDonald of Restyled Home. The magazine is called Holiday with Matthew Mead and will be released this October, just in time for the Holidays 2010. Check out the new website for all the details:
It’s sure to be a very inspirational magazine chock-full of Holiday ideas that we can all use in our own homes. And, they are even going to get ideas and pictures from blogger’s own homes to use in the magazine and you could even be featured in the magazine. Wouldn’t that be fun?
Be sure to bookmark their page for lots more to come, along with giveaways. You can pre-order your copy of the magazine, as it will NOT be sold on the newsstands, but delivered to our mailboxes.
Rhoda,
Thanks so much for the post… looking forward to working with you… Matthew
Hi Rhoda! Audley and I ate at Flip in Atlanta when we were there for the Framing workshop. He ordered a chorizo burger (it had a fried egg on it!) and I had the butcher’s cut with caramelized onion and blue cheese. It was really good and something different to try. I am glad you guys liked it as well!
Hapve a fabulous weekend!

Your burger looks wonderful and love the shake. The magazine sounds like a great idea. How fun. Hugs, Marty
Rhoda, Love the looks of that burger. I would like to reserve a copy of Matthew’s new magazine coming out in the late fall.
Cheers, Swampgirl’s Mom
I just ordered Matthew’s magazine. Thanks for the info. That was so easy and I look forward to the magazine sometime in Oct/Nov.

Hi Rhoda, We don’t have FLIP here in Kansas City, I bet it would go over well though. So nice to have an outing with your husband that is a fun adventure!

Yum. I love burgers & fries & milkshakes and having a gourmet place to enjoy such things would be even better! Looks like a fun date with your man :).
Oooooh!
Now that looks like a great place to grab a fancy burger!
Sure wish I could pop up to the Summit today!
The only SUMMITS here in the Northwest…are thousands of ft UP!
I sure miss my Saturdays in Birmingham!
We always hit Homewood first…and then THE SUMMIT…and then ended the day at J Alexander’s over by The Galleria!
Nothing like a good day spent in Bham!
And that Krispy Kreme Shake…is calling my name!
xxooxx
Happy Day!
We are going to Atlanta in April. Maybe we can check it out. It sure looks good! Love & blessings from NC!
Thanks for the restaurant tip! My niece is back in B’ham working (She’s at Ashley Macs) and I need a new place to try. I love me some cheeseburgers and yours looked scrumptious with a twist!
I feel a visit coming on soon…
Enjoy the weekend!
We have Smash Burger here! It is more sleek and clean not very chic but their rosemary fries are F A N T A S T I C ! It is the place you go and then go to the track and walk and walk and walk some more!
A Colorful Colorado hug to you from me!
Looks like a really interesting restaurant. The food looks delish.
I bought Matthew Mead’s Halloween book last year. I love his style!!! 🙂
Ah, this post makes me homesick for Birmingham! We loved The Summit. It was in its very first phase when we moved to B’ham in 1998, and it was such fun to watch it grow!
You know, for a city its size, Birmingham has really excellent shopping and dining. Glad you and hubby had a lunch out together! That’s one of my favorite dates!
We are headed your way next weekend and will give it a try! I love B-ham, my 2nd home, and I LOOOOOOVE the Summit. I’m anxious to check out all the new places in the recently added on spaces.
What an interesting name and place to get an all-American meal. Birmingham is just an hour or so from home….sounds very tempting….Thanks for letting us know about.

great. now i am dying for a hamburger! 🙂
Well, you talked me into it. Just ordered the magazine, and can’t wait to get it!
We ate at the one in ATL when we lived there! Glad to hear they have a second location in Birmingham now.
We’ve been meaning to make it to Flip – I don’t think $12 for all that is bad at all! About what you’d pay for all that at Ruby Tuesday or somewhere – maybe even less! Must go soon.
