Flip Burger Boutique- Howell Mill!!!

Do you know anything about Iron Chef? How about Top Chef All-Stars?? 

Well if you haven't then that means you haven't heard of Mr. Richard Blais. That also means you haven't heard of his amazing cooking and creative ideas on burgers and shakes. Once you read this, if you don't run to your cars and drive over to Flip Burger then something is seriously wrong with you. So lets get started.

Flip Burger Boutique!!

1587 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, GA 30318 

This is horrible, because I really don't know where to start!

You can't go to Flip without leaving completely happy. 

The only thing you could be upset about is the fact that the meal is over. 

So let me just tell you how it is, meat on top of meat. That's it, a flip burger. I am just going to shut my mouth and give you pictures because if I didn't I would have spent hours basically writing a book about one single restaurant. 

Then of course I get to move on the milk shacks!!

The Hot Dog Factory- Smyrna/Vinings!!

Summers here and the time is right for a perfect hot dog! 

Have you ever wanted to put something different on a hot dog, or maybe wanted to try a famous Chicago or New York dog? 

Well, do I have a spot for you!!

The Hot Dog Factory!!

Location: 1529 Spring Rd. St E. Smyrna, GA. 30080

A cute little whole in the wall place just off of Spring Rd and a mile from Cumberland mall. 

The poor Dairy Queen the sits a few 100 feet away can't even touch these big, juice, kosher beef, turkey, and polish hot dogs. 

You could say these dogs are modern or you could say they just have a take on hot dogs some people just haven't thought of yet. All I know is I am SOOO glad they did. 

They have your classics like plain, chili, chili 'n cheese, slaw, chili slaw, and a New York Dog that has saurkraut and spicy brown mustard.

But where they really hit the spot is with there Factory Dog's!!

Let start with my favorite!

DE LA CASA: Wrapped in bacon, with grilled onions, American cheese, guacamole, jalapeno, pico de gallo, house mayo and sour cream!! AMAZING!!!!!! Must Try!!

BBQ: Wrapped in bacon with grilled onions, American cheese, grilled pineapple and smoky BBQ sauce on top! Don't let it fool you. Another favorite!!! If you are a BBQ fan you have got to order one!!

AY CHIHUAHUA! Wrapped in bacon with melted cheddar cheese, pinto beans, dill relish, jalapeno, pico de gallo, mayo, ketchup and mustard. Yummy!!!!

SUDOGKU: With a fresh Asian flavor this dog is topped with home made cole slaw salad with cilantro, sweet hoisin sauce, ginger, and lime juice!!! Sooo Goood!!

CHICAGO: A Classic, poppy seed bun topped with tomato, pickle, sweet relish, sports pepper, onions, mustard and celery salt!! Now you don't have to go to Chicago to get one! Best Chicago dog in Atlanta!!

THE OVERLOAD: A foot long, half pound hot dog that is ready for you to customize it how ever you like!!  

You can't forgot about the fires, sweet potato fires, onion rings, nachos, and... 

The Best Corn Dog You Will Ever Have... outside of a fair. Ha. 

Pretty much, hands down, best corner dog in Atlanta!!

!Planet Bombay- Little 5 Points!

If you don't get anything from this blog. If you don't go to any of the places I show you. 

Please then DEAR GOD please!!!!!!

Go to Planet Bombay and try the Chicken Tikka Masala!!!!!!!!!!

BEST CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA 

YOU WILL EVER FIND!!!!!

Planet Bombay- Little Five Points 

Location: 451 Moreland Ave. Atlanta, Ga 30307

Okay so here we go, if you don't know about Indian food then I am sorry to say that this probably isn't the first place you should try only because it will be the one place you compare every single place you go to after. 

Honestly, its the best Indian food in town and I really can't live with out it. I mean I would go there every single night for the rest of my life for dinner because it it's that amazing!!

Papadams or lentil chips is served while you look over the menu and wait for your food. The taste of pepper and bitterness of the chip compares perfectly with the mango sauce. Once you start you really can't stop, that is until you look down and your basket is empty. 

Here we has a vegetable samosa stuffed with potatoes and peas. Don't let the little green sauce fool you. Its fiery and will burn, you only put a few drops or two on each bite. Even if you don't like hot stuff you should still try it because its delicious!

Saag Paneer, something you might look at and say what is this. And no its not tofu its cheese. Homemade Indian cheese with spinach more cheese and spices. So yummy!!!!

Now for the most in-decisive person in the world to tell you....

I HAVE ACTUALLY PICKED A FAVORITE FOOD!!!!!

!!CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA!! 

Boneless chicken kabobs marinated for 24hours, grilled with spices and then thrown in a tomato based sweetly spiciest sauce with onions, garlic, gram masala, cumin and more..... melts in your mouth!! 

Severed with rice and Naah (an Indian fluffy flat bread).

(Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala and a Goat Curry!)

You should also try the lamb curry's. Spice is ranked from 1-7. 2 being a little spicy, 3 having spice, 5 most likely burning a normal persons tongue to 7 which might kill you. But thats what you get with Indian spices..... but is still amazing!!

You can't forget dessert!! Rice Pudding!!!!! One of may favorite desserts now. I can't go to any Indian restaurant without ordering some!

Side Note: My boyfriend and I love getting the platter for two. If you look at this you may be surprised to hear I can finish the whole thing. 

The food is that delicious!!

You get two of those one for you and one for another person. You can also just get it for yourself. Or if you just want to try a meat and curry sauce you can order a large bowl of it. Which is also fun!!

I am telling you, you do not know what your missing!!

Raging Burrito- Decatur!!

Raging Burrito & Taco is a must try when in Atlanta!

If you haven't stopped in for a quick bite and a beer you're missing out!

Located in downtown Decatur, Raging Burrito is surrounded with a warm and cozy atmosphere that you may not get in Midtown. 
Even walking around downtown Decatur in the winters cold air you wont want to stop. But when you do you have to stop at RB.

Raging Burrito & Taco is connected to a beautiful patio with glowing lights and an 18ft painting of the Mona Lisa.  But enough about that, lets get on to the food.

Servers always ask you if you want any appetizers and of course in any Mexican restaurant you want chips and salsa. 
At Raging Burrito instead of getting the same old tomato based salsa (which is still delicious) try their 

PINEAPPLE SALSA!! 

As you can see I didn't stop to take a picture until I realized it was almost gone!

Do me a favor skip the size small when you get it and go for the large! If you don't you'll wish you had!!

One thing I can't stand to live without is Raging Burritos Baja Fish Tacos!!

The fish coated in Sweatwater 420 beer-batter is like melted butter in your mouth. Wrapped in flour tortilla and paired up with cabbage, chipolte baja sauce and pico de gallo. Served with a side of black beans and rice. Your mouth will never want another beef or chicken taco again! 

Don't forget to add some of that amazing pineapple salsa!! 

OMG, seriously best fish tacos in Atlanta!! Soooo Delicious!!!!

Raging Burrito has big delicious burritos like the Basic Burrito, Raging Burrito, and another must try Raging Monster (your basic go big or go home scenario). You also can't forget about all the Specialty Burritos like: 

Jamaican Jerk chicken or tofu with light sour cream, fresh salsa, rice and beans.

Chipolet Barbecue with your choice of chicken, pork, or shrimp caramelized onions, cilantro, and the spicy-smoked-chipotle BBQ sauce, rice and beans.

Tokyo Teriyaki chicken, tofu, or steak with sauteed in sesame-teriyaki sauce, with mushrooms, broccoli, and caramelized onions, rice and beans. 

Sydney Salad Burrito with your choice of fresh guacamole or feta cheese, romaine lettuce, cucumber, carrots, red onions, cheeses, and salsa.

They also have a large verity of nachos, quesadillas, salads, and more!

Here for my first post I will show you a few quick pics from The Vortex- Little Five Points! 

LOCATION: 438 Moreland Ave. NE  Atlanta, GA 

It would be hard and frustrating to have to just pick one or two items on this menu because just about every single thing you try at The Vortex is fabulous! Please don't let the big skull entrance outside keep you from the warmth your body will endure on the inside. So here is a few favorites I have come across. I will tell you this wont be the last time you see The Vortex in the blog!!

Here we have ATLANTA'S ORIGINAL NACHO TOTS! Smothered with shredded jack and cheddar cheese, chopped lettus, black olives, sour cream, chunky red salsa and you choice of Firehouse, Veggie or White Turkey Chili!! Good God, they're huge, sloppy and delicious!! 

Of course it wouldn't be The Vortex without some BURGERS!!!

Big Blue Buffalo Burger!!! My Favorite... maybe haha. 

Drenched in our original buffalo wing sauce and topped with our thick blue cheese spread!! Served with tots! 

And PLEASE don't for get to try a tot with the blue cheese spread! This could change your life!

I can't deiced which is better and you may think I am crazy but for my little body to take down a monster like this..... so can you.... and it is SOOOOO WORTH IT!! 

Double Bypass Burger!!! DELICIOUS!!! 

Topped with two fried eggs, six slices of American cheese, and eight slices of bacon, all served between the two grilled cheese sandwiches that we use in place of the regular hamburger buns!!
