• HOT [censored]

The only reason why I am even writing this now is because instead of being productive yuppies going accent chair shopping after dinner on a weeknight, we made a comatose stroll through Burlington before coming home to nurse our food comas. When we were invited out to try the new vegan chick'n sandwich at Flippin' Good Burgers, my first response was "don't threaten me with a good time!". Settled into the heart of downtown this small and casual burger joint is effortless enough to deal with the 2am drunks in need of a soaker, but pulled together enough to happily accommodate this accent-chair shopping, Hallmark ornament wait-listed wife and mother of cats. After we settled ourselves onto the dining bar that shelved an open window facing the Fremont, we placed our order and people watched. Oh- the glory of these bad boys when they arrived. Now mind you, I'm a vegan of the kale-munching variety. I have hemp hearts, spirulina, apple cider vinegar AND chia seeds in my pantry. So I was a bit intimidated when this beastly tray slid in front of me, held together by nothing but prayers and a long toothpick. But, I'm no quitter, so I gathered my wits and tucked in. And thank god it wasn't just a pretty face. Hot [censored] it was good. 20 minutes and several pointed questions later, nothing but crumbs remained on the tray, except maybe for a little of my dignity. I learned that: -the onion rings aren't vegan, but Chef Chuck made us up our own vegan batch without the buttermilk. - they fry the vegan chicken in the same fryer as the onion rings but NOT in the chicken fryer. We chatted about maybe then getting a fryer for vegan only or frying them in the French fry fryer. I feel like that's a bit nitpicky though. I personally don't have an issue with it. - yes the mayo-like sauce on the chicken is vegan, as is the bun. - ask about the BBQ sauces and DON'T eat the sauce on the table with the other condiments- it's a chipotle honey.
