GBK's been around longer than beardy hipsters, though, hasn't it? I must say (though I haven't been in a while) that I've never felt it's a smug, sneering place, just somewhere to get a filling, tasty burger and chips. I'm not averse to MacDonald's but they are just so unfilling, 10 minutes after you've finished you're hungry again, which I find a whole lot more annoying than some free nuts.

Neither Meatliquor nor Honest Burger give free nuts. Has the thread moved on from nuts?

Kinda. KeekySnorky sort of broadened the discussion to the wider hipster "dirty" burger thing. Then someone said that GBK predates that. I was pointing out that...


oh who cares...

600 million indians have no regular access to bogs, 75% of them poo randomly in the open outside the cities- this is the point i was making regaridng eating wiv yer hands. I havent eaten meat since University, so its a sorta non issue for me, just the rest of the bearded yo ho ho matey mugs who pay ?25 a go to hanker down in SE15 arches yurts to eat raw liver burgers delivered on a sheet of flaky asbestos tiling and drink tepid thames water out of a chipped robinsons jam jar with the golliwog label still attached

It seems a bit sacrilegious to go to Hawksmoor and not get a steak but I would like to try one of their burgers.

KB - Well luckily we DO have access to toilets and washing facilities, so eating with your hands is perfectly safe. I'm sure they could rustle up some kind of bland veggie alternative for you.


phobic - as much as I love a good steak, they do a very good burger for ?15 (or a French dip sandwich for around a tenner I think). I can't always drop ?60+ a head on dinner...

its all toss


a cafe selling only cereal, hand food only, a gaff specialising in crisp sandwiches- these people seem to rejoice in removing the past several hundred years of social and economic development and reducing everything they do to the level of a emotially repressed child - primary colour fixies with no brakes or gears , not wearing socks with shoes, eating with yer hands, shops specialising only cup cakes, rod jane and freddie coloured dungarees, pink timmy mallet bloody glasses...what the fuck are these poltroons trying to say


what next - sunshine orange & rusk cafes, fixies with stabilisers, giant tommee tippe cups instead of pint glasses, adult nappie cafes, ruberised pelican bibs in the lastest pop up raw meat emporium ?

Full agreement with everything except 'tasty'. What should be the core of GBK is instead... abomination. I do so miss Meatwagon...

    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
