The first was Flip Burger Boutique, which is a very trendy place. We ate at the bar, where we had a lovely dark-haired bartender who looked NYC but had a soft southern accent.
I had the Butcher's Cut, a 5.5 oz burger with carmelized onions, blue cheese and a red wine jam. The burger tasted great, and the only problem was that the red wine jam was overwhelmed by the blue cheese. The fries that accompanied it were tasty as well, and offered along with ketchup and a smoked mayo.

The highlight of the visit though was the nutella-burnt marshmellow milkshake. A very thick shake with actual marshmellows lightly burned by a blow torch. I would go back just for the shake. Although it would be great to try the other burgers some day.
On Sunday, my sister, brother-in-law, and niece joined me at George's, a 41-year old burger joint in the Virginia-Highlands neighborhood. I had the bacon and monterrey jack burger with tomato and guac, and a side of potato salad. This burger was exceptional, larger than the the Flip burger, juicy and wonderfully cooked on the outside. Of the two burgers, I would go back to George's first.
