Whitney & Bobby Meet...

[From Atlanta Journal Constitution]

WEEKEND PEACH BUZZ
Houston, Brown get out and mingle

It would appear that Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were as torn up over the untimely demise of Bennifer as Buzz Central was. And at the rate they're frequenting the joint, the pair will soon have a table engraved with their names at Frankie's Sports Grill on Roswell Road.

The musical couple arrived separately at their new fave watering hole Thursday night. Brown arrived first and was later joined by his wife. Brown's beverage of choice was Budweiser in a bottle while Houston had her usual--a green sour apple martini.

"She can really suck those down!" marveled Frankie's server Teri Hogan to Buzz Friday. The pair stayed for "maybe three hours" while mixing and mingling with Frankie's locals, happily signing autographs.

One patron even thrust a cellphone in Brown's face, commanding "Bobby Brown, talk to my friend on the phone." The pop singer dutifully obliged.

The couple's next high-profile appearance will most likely be in a Fulton County courtroom on Feb. 4, the date set for Brown's preliminary hearing. The singer is still facing battery charges after an alleged fight with his wife late last year.
