On a sunny day during the work week, some co-workers treated a co-worker and myself out for our birthday lunch. Upon much deliberation Flips became an easy choice. For me to say this is saying quite a bit. When given the option my top three restaurant categories would be Mexican, Asian, or Indian. Overall, Italian food seems to lack flavor and overall is interpreted in a generic form here in this part of the country.
Of the writers for this blog I am considered the douche bag for my appreciation of the finer things in life. While I will never be a fixture in the City of Edmond or Bakers Street, somehow I have earned this title. Let it be known the main culprit is a recent convert to the vegetarian lifestyle and constantly raves about Urban Outfitters. Thusly, I’m lead to believe all of their rants are invalid, but that’s another story; on to the food!
I can honestly say that I have never had a poor tasting meal here although the majority of my orders have been the Chicken Lasagna. Let’s take some time and dissect this dish so I can back my statement of saying its eff’n bombtastic! The Chicken Lasagna at Flips is ladled with a mushroom onion cream sauce. Don’t like mushrooms? Don’t worry. I can’t stand them either and I still find the sauce absolutely amazing. This can also be ordered with Marinara which is totally amazing with their garlic parmesan fried pasta chips. You’ll instantly notice that the marinara sauce is homemade from fresh ingredients. Many restaurants claim to have homemade sauces but I struggle to distinguish the difference between their version and a store bought variety. Anyway, I recommend the cream sauce for the lasagna. What’s more is there are six different high quality cheeses packed in this generous slice of Italian casserole wonder. If you want the experience to be even better come at dinner when it comes with a delicious soup or salad.

Banana Island. What can I say about this place? How about we start with awesome freaking name. I’m sure you will all agree (okay most will agree, this is the internet and somebody somewhere always disagrees with something). Seriously though if this restaurant were and actual island how awesome does it sound? I bet it’s better than the LOST island. Okay enough will all this island talk. If you wanted to talk about an island I’m sure you would have visited an island blog (which I am now starting). Now for restaurant talk. I will preface this review by saying I really like this place so if that’s all you wanted to know then you can stop reading now. Still with me? Good.
