It would seem that the cat is now out of the bag.
Though I’m still trying to wrap my head around how this happened, thanks to some reorganization over at the AJC, I can now add “professional food writer” to my resume. I’m not sure who was asleep at the wheel over there when they decided to hire me for this, but I’m definitely not complaining.

I might even go so far as to call it a “hoopla”.
Thus began the so-called Atlanta “burger wars”.
This Tuesday marked the grand opening of Flip’s 2nd Atlanta location, right in the heart of Buckhead. Taking over the vacant Blockbuster in the Tuxedo Festival shopping center on Roswell, Rd…
