seanmlow Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Louisa -Would you rather it was a Speedo pizza like place? A dirty shop, with meat that looks like it was scraped off the factory floor. Your nuggest is probably pieces of eyelid and bollock!

mockney piers Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm not sure any of that would appeal to Loiusa, Le Moulin's more her sort of thing.Now if there was a Gourmet Fondue Kitchen.....

Only me! Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 In reply to Jimbo.We've never had to re-queue just for more drinks.Just ordered from a waitress, had them brought over with a bill & paid as we leave.As for the comments on price, quality etc.Never had bad or duff food.Even had wine of reasonable quality.i think you get what you pay for & can usully get out for less than ?15.00/head.Which for reasonable food & drink in Lordship Lane isn't really that bad, is it?

Louisa Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ladies and gents - I think we're missing the point here, at the end of the day (she says reluctantly), its a bloody burger, if it was a decent meal for ?20 fair enough, but come on now, who pays that for a burger goddamnit?

andypandy Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 To me GBK is good but not quite the cigar. Now the best burger that I have had in ED was at Inside 72 which we used to frequent 5 yrs ago BC (Before Children). That was a really good burger - served with a pint of draught beer (good draught beer at that) and no children to be heard or seen. It the ultimate combo. Does anyone know if they still do their burger? and if it's any good? The best thing about GBK is the milkshake. Just don't drink one before you Burger arrives.....

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 andypandyI agree with you on the quality of the 72 burgersadly the only food they do now is sandwiches - very good sandwiches IMO, but not always what the doctor ordered Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2298-gourmet-burger-kitchen/page/2/#findComment-67036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Which reminds me, why must every steak sandwich be filled with so much caramelised red onion that you can taste nothing else!?!?

annaj Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Absolutely Keef. I have thought for a while that the use of red onion should be strictly licenced - you should only be allowed to serve it if you can prove that you know how much is too much. Under my proposed licencing system, overdressing of your steak sandwich would result in a dawn raid by the red onion police! As for GBK, only been there once and it was ok. I agree too noisy and I didn't much like the funny self service / waitress mix. One positive though, they serve Macs Gold beer from New Zealand, which is lovely and organic, although only brewed in NZ so terrible food miles. Oh dear, life is complicated isn't it?

Asset Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think he means as share price is going down investment will be harder to get, liquidity will become an issue and as rents etc rise on LL GBK will be pushed out. Or summing like that. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2298-gourmet-burger-kitchen/page/2/#findComment-67830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If they can afford to set up in the West End and Canary Wharf, I doubt they're finding it hard to meet the rents in East Dulwich.

TJS Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Agreed Jeremy as they also have one opposite St.Pauls. In fact ED is probally the cheapest.

Which is something I don't tend to do, unless I'm on my way to Norfolk and stop off at a roadside place that's famous for its burgers. Also, if you think all burgers are the same, then you have been misled. They vary greatly in quality depending on the meat used to prepare them, and the other contents. I actually don't often eat burgers, but I have an American friend who does and I trust his judgement. He rates GBK quite highly, and does so based on their quality and that of the ingredients (which, being diabetic, he checks), as opposed to that of the fast food alternative you've referred to. On the issue of eating with 'filth', I guess this is back to the class issue that keeps raising its ugly head. I'm quite happy eating in local caffs when I wish to, and I don't mind who else is in there either, as long as they behave properly, and don't rant loudly, particular if it's in an aggressive or a Daily Mailesque manner.

leelogs Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I can't quite believe how bad this place is.I just had their chicken burger... a piece of greasy breast fillet from Iceland, devoid of any taste whatsoever, and their usual pointlessly oversized bun. I can't remember when I had anything quite so vile.Will stick with their milkshakes from now on. This is the second bad meal I've had there; wish I hadn't given them a second chance.

danrees Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I am currently working in New York for a number of weeks and have tried a number of burger places which typically get 'best in NYC' on the important websites (www.menupages.com etc).To be honest, GBK is up there with the best of what New York has to offer. I haven't tried DB Bistro Moderne's burger with flecks of foie gras, but GBK does compete with most of the specialist burger joints.I guess there is only a certain level of taste to which minced beef can aspire!
