The Nola folks will descend on you for that.
Seriously though they are kind of like a pastry that is rolled so that when dropped in hot fat it puffs up, they are then dusted in powdered sugar. Yummy! Gator also serves them at Blue Orleans.
I had a sample today at flip flops after another wonderful burger. Gators are authentic beignets and very good. Flip flops are tasty but are biscuit dough I was told by the chef. Real beignets like Gators remind me of funnel cake.
I ventured up to Seagrove today and had lunch at Flip Flops. I must say that I was impressed. Tried the burger and it was wonderful. What I liked best was the owners. They are very nice. They took time to have a conversation and made me feel welcome. Trying the chili dog next.
I had my first flip flop burger today and it was worthy. I ordered it with everything - it arrived a perfect medium / medium rare, dressed with chopped lettuce (very good to keep the tomato from sliding off), pickle, decent January tomato, cheddar cheese, mustard and seasoned mayonnaise. I took it to go, so sadly the fries were cold by the time I got back to the office but they were still good. At 12:45 on a January day, the place was hopping! It was clear that there were many of the customers were repeats. Just imagine how busy they will be when the tourists are here in force!
Flip flops - thank you for filling a strong need for reasonably priced, casual, good food on 30A. I'll be back!

Ok, where is Gators?
Gator's (place) a.k.a. Blue Orleans is located in Blue Mountain Beach. Can't miss it, North side of 30A in a "blue" building between the old Nick's and the 30A Liquor Store.

uh, swgb, I know wtf a beignet is!!! I could live on beignets and cafe au lait. and I've never really had one outside of NO that was truly worthy.
I just didn't know that my new favorite place serves beignets! lord help! my thighs! my thighs! If I know Shea and Rebecca, they will be serving a good one and I'm ready to try it!

Just wanted to thank everyone for coming into Flip-Flops. We will keep doing our best! A note on our Beignets... they are actually, what is called in Louisiana, a POOR MANS BEIGNET... my mother used to make them every morning. Its a fried biscuit and they are quite tasty with powedered sugar! We were going to call them beach biscuits or pough-nuts...but decided to just call them beignets... sorry for the confusion...come in and try them out!
Thanks,
Flip Flops
