NEWYORK.GRUBSTREET.COM- Nick Solares of A Hamburger Today expressed disappointment in the sliders at Mark today, and you knew someone was also going to swim against the tide of adoration being washed upon Bill’s Burger and Bar. Unsurprisingly, it’s noted crank Alan Richman, who usually waits a while before turning on a restaurant (witness his review of Peter Luger), but wastes no time here. Not only does he take Bill’s down several notches in his GQ review, he uses it as an excuse to scold bloggers for “going berserk” about the burger.

As previously posted, there is a new burger spot down in the Meatpacking District called Bill’s.  However, not previously posted was the amount of attention and controversy this joint is getting.  The reviews have been great but simple.  Good bang for your buck, simple burgers, simple fries and a simple atmosphere.  Why all the hot and bothered? A little tension between Man vs. Food’s Adam Richman and AHT?  Let’s not get out our buns in a bunch now guys….

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Votes have been tallied and executives overwhelmingly prefer a Sonic Drive In
cheeseburger over any other fast-food chain`s cheeseburger. In a first-ever
survey of fast-food burgers among executives, Exec Digital magazine asked a room
full of executives to rate cheeseburgers from five national fast-food joints,
including McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy`s, 5 Guys Burgers and Fries and Sonic
Drive In. On a scale of one to five, executives were asked to rate each
cheeseburger in the following categories: the bun, the cheese, the meat, the
condiments and overall taste.

Shocker!!! They serve tator tots.  Wether you are at the top of the food chain

the coporate ladder, gotta love tots!

GOOGLENEWS.com- AMERICAN FORK, Utah — Four Utah teenagers have been cited for disorderly conduct after they rapped their order at a McDonald’s drive-through.

The teens say they were imitating a popular video on YouTube. They rapped their order, which begins with, “I need a double cheeseburger and hold the lettuce …” once quickly before repeating it more slowly Tuesday.

Spenser Dauwalder says employees at the restaurant in American Fork told him and his friends they were holding up the line and needed to order or leave.

Dauwalder says nobody was in line. The group left without buying anything.

This makes me a sad panda…..

HINDUSTANTIMES.com – Hollywood actress Paris Hilton is determined to put her flop acting career behind her with a cameo in The Other Guys.

The Simple Life star has signed up to appear alongside Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Mendes in the forthcoming film, reports contactmusic.com.

“Paris has a cameo role in the movie, where she plays herself. It is all being kept very hush-hush,” said a source.

Is it just me or has Paris Hilton’s career (if thats even what you call it) hit the skids or what?  It just so happens that her last big TV appreance, at least one that I can remember, was the skimpy Carl’s Jr. carwash commercial.  Maybe she needs to start mowing down burger again to save her career from losing lbs. Oh, but wait she has a big break through in the works with a cameo for “The Other Guys”? Hey, how about you stop playing yourself and maybe act a little bit….I don’t know just a thought.  Try portraying a cheeseburger…thats a start but maybe a little challenging.

BurgerBets is right around .500 for the year coming off a 3-2-1 week.  I am pissed and I am strictly business this week, short and sweet.  Here we go.

NCAA:

Penn St (-4.5) at MICHIGAN Big House, schmig House.  Nits roll.

Tenn (+15.5) at ALABAMA My roomate is going so I have been all over this game.  Tennessee’s D is good enough to keep this game close.

TCU (-2.5) at BYU Love this Horned Frogs team.

NFL:

San Diego (-5) at KC Unless Eddie Royal gets traded to the Cheifs this week and keeps taking kicks to the house, Bolts cover EASILY.

HOUSTON (-3) vs San Fran I have been casually waiting for this Texans team to come around because I do think they have some potential.  Their D has started to clean it up a little bit and I don’t believe in the Niners.  I like this game a lot.

Philly (-7) at WASHINGTON This is a gift.  A gift from Vegas.  Thank you Vegas.  Rule of thumb, always bet against Jim Zorn.  And it is even better when the Eagles are coming off a fluke, ugly loss to the Raiders so they will be looking to get back on track.  Eagles win this game handily.  This is a COMPLETE AND UTTER LOCK.  LOCK CITY.  COUNT THE BASKET.  Put it this way, if the Eagles don’t cover, I will go on a month long burger fast.

As always, bet with me and your burgers are free!

P.S.  Don’t tell Burger Boy, but I had a cheeseburger club tonight.  Think he will be pissed?  I feel like he will either like it or think its burger blasphemy.

P.P.S  LobstersClaw sucks.

“For those that don’t know, a ninja is a covert agent or mercenary
specializing in unorthodox arts of war. And that’s what it takes to
handle Bar 89’s Burger Au Poivre II… Hi-Yah!  What do you get when you add
melted, crumbled bleu cheese & bacon to an au poivre burger?  A
nun-chuck dodging, deadly move avoiding, ninja stopping burger that would be more
appropriately served in slider form.  Although delicious, this burger
was far too rich for a modest (yet skillfully trained) ninja like me.  This
burger left me unable to perform espionage, sabotage, infiltration, or
assassination.  In fact, after eating this burger I felt as deadly as
Steve Urkel holding a nerf bow n’ arrow in skid mark stained whitey tighties.
Burger Ninja sadly rates this burger 6 throwing stars out of 10. -BurgerNinja”

89 Mercer Street (between Spring and Broome) Soho

Across the pond, on the water, in Newport Pavonia stands a chic spot that draws business folks from nearby firms like Knight, AXA Equitable and JP Morgan.  Happy Hours and employee send-offs seem to find themselves here as guys in suits motor down adult beverages and gals sprinkle themselves in between conversing about business and shoes.  Word to the wise bankers, broads and bros, stick to the beer and pass on the burgers.  The buns were stale, the meat was weak and overdone and simply just lacked enough flavor.  The highlight of the dish was the side of A1 Sauce that I needed to smother over the burger in order to lube up the dried out bun to slide down. (A1 is the bee’s knees…thank you for saving me tonight).  Bottom line, the sliders sucked but suds were good.

MOONBATTERY.com – Scientists have discovered that going veggie could be bad for your brain — with those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage.

Vegans and vegetarians are the most likely to be deficient because the best sources of the vitamin are meat, particularly liver, milk and fish. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia and inflammation of the nervous system.

Pam, who are you kidding? We all know you love meat and are not a vegetarian.  You have burger written all over you.  Take that lettuce and put it to good use on a big beefy burger. Her lettuce would look so much better on a burger (or a bedroom floor).  Carnivores smarter vegetarians? No kidding, off course they are stupid, they aren’t eating cheeseburgers. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.  No meat? That’s like no air for most Americans.  Get a grip and dive into to a juicy burger and live a little.  Let your hair down and shake your tailfeather.  Babies gotta eat!
