Gourmet Burger Kitchen

Impulse going to GBK for burgers. No, I haven't researched this venue before going. But I've seen it everywhere in London. How risky could it be?
Overall, I must say that it was not my favourite meal in London, far from it. But they do give away free peanuts, which I appreciate a lot!


They call them monkey nuts, not peanuts. Sense of humour, I guess? I went for the Blue Cheese. I really regret choosing this one. The burger was OK, but the cheese was too much of a big chunk. It was too salty and overwhelming, which are common things in a super strong kind of cheese like this, but I believe that there are ways to incorporate strong flavours without them letting overwhelm a dish. This was not the case.


The fries were actually nice, although I like fat pieces of chips, instead of slim ones, but that's more of a personal taste.
In the end, the reasons why I won't be coming back to GBK are simple: 1) There are many many more burger places to try in London and it would be silly to repeat one; 2) They are not really gourmet, but again, maybe it was because I chose the Blue Cheese. The menu had some more interesting options, but I'll never know now!
