BBQ heaven

Don't stand behind me

One thing that I have noticed about Bill's every time I have gone, the burger *quickly* becomes dried out. I do not mean cooking time, I mean that the last bite compared to the first bite, has totally lost all juiciness (and I always order extra juicy).

I am very glad to see that they took your comments (and the AHT commenters' opinions) to heart and improved their burger. I have been there a few times over the years and the servers have always been sweet and the atmosphere fun. I love to see proactive management that really listens to critiques and improves their offerings.

I have only tried it once so far, but I was disappointed. I also went for a dog (can't remember if I went beef or pork) with the gruyere. I was suprisingly underwhelmed by the flavor and execution and marked it off as a "tried it once and don't need to try it again...."

This is one of my frequently visited bookmarks, love his site

Already done in a few places in NYC too. Granted the other places aren't serving 5 different types, this is hardly groundbreaking. Might be good though, looks worth a taste!

I don't find it sad at all that it is being turned into retail. That sorry excuse for a club, Avalon, was more of a kick in the balls to the Limelight than a shopping mall is.

I guess eating both of these for a 400 calorie "dinner" might be filling enough and miles ahead of a 330 calorie Lean Cuisine. But if I am eating 400 calories for these, may as well have an Amy's pizza for one for 450 calories. I have mentioned before, Amy's is not just passable frozen pizza, it is actually good!

What Shelemm and others seem to miss is that one star is a good review, and these are reviews of the restaurant as a whole, not just the food. The very first commenter asked how a "good" restaurant could receive only one star. That is the NY Times rating system, which is based on on the idea that a majority of the restaurants in NYC are not even worthy of a review. Only restaurants that are held to a higher standard should be reviewed. This means that thousands of pizza joints, hot dog places, and diners are never going to be reviewed and there doesn't need to be a lower tier of ratings. 0 stars is unsatisfactory or merely satisfactory, which is awful for a place with higher expectations. 0 stars is not for a hole in the wall, or even for a papaya hot dog joint with great food but no atmosphere.

1 star is great news for Motorino and does it justice.

I think Sifton has been doing a good job, and unlikehis predecessors, is giving the outer boroughs' great restaurants a fair shot. Bruni sucked - horrible ratings, horrible writing, bias towards Italian, inconsistent ratings... good riddance.

I need a quarterly McD's fix, and I was surprised that I did not like the McBurger and prefered the QP cheese. Something about the texture, seemed grainier and greasier to me.

That IS a tasty burger. As far as pub burgers go, I actually prefer Fanelli's on the onion roll over Corner Bistro, which I think is bland.

Having them breaded makes them soggy and disgusting. I didn't realize you can ask for unbreaded. Probably makes a huge different.

NYC is sadly underserved for quality buffalo wings. Sure, people can name their favorite or the top 5, but they are all spread out. We should have access to great buffalo wing delivery, anywhere in the city. I live in Chelsea, overflowing with restaurants, and my best options are Atomic Wings (ok at best), bars like McHales (ok at best), or diners (suck).

Although my palate has matured a lot, I would kill for some Taco Mac wings like I had in college in Atlanta.

I prefer ketchup on all of my burgers, except for the one at Txikito. I haven't had Minetta's black label, but when I tried the black label at City Burger I did half with ketchup and half without. I prefer it with.

The comments that say "people who are serious about burgers don't use ketchup" are smug, douchey, and untrue. Nobody is going to tell me that I am not a beef aficionado because I prefer one condiment or another or none. If you savor the beef flavor so much, are you gonna tell me that "real burger experts don't use a bun, we just eat the patty straight out of our hand to get the real flavor"...
