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….
