Views: Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Earls Court London

This week I've been to the good old capital of England to visit the tfm (Technology for Marketing & Advertising) exhibition held at Earls Court. It was a worthwhile visit at a quality venue. Not least because of the Google university seminar and a talk on Facebook from Blake Chandlee who is Commercial Director, UK, at Facebook.
So you would think as I have now recovered from the trip, settled back in at home and answered my 200 emails at work because I was out of the office for 2 days without a Blackberry; I would probably sit down to write a blog about the highlights of the exhibition... that's what you would think.

That however, is not the case.

Instead I will tell you about the absolute outstanding highlight of the 2 days. The one thing that really stuck with me and made me look forward to my next London visit.

Let me paint the picture. Day one, up around 8.00am to catch the bus in to Leicester then train to London St.Pancras... not St.Pancreus (which is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates) like one of my colleagues kept saying!. Then straight to the exhibition as we want to make sure we don't miss the Google University, which by the way was good - not excellent, as it did feel just a tad like it was a sales pitch for Ad-Words, but still good.

After the seminar I take a look at the time-piece and realise it's way past dinner time... Food is beckoning.

We head down to Earls Court road and into the first pub we see (sorry can't recall the name).
Upon inspection of the menu there is one thing that is taking everyone's fancy... a burger.
As I'm just about to go to the bar to order, we take a glance out of the window and see GBK which stands for - Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Surely if we are to have a burger, we should go to a place that specialises in it... and boy do the specialise!!! oh yes... to the max!

After a quality large milkshake which was creamy, thick and perfectly flavoured, I look up to see a ginourmous Thai chicken burger floating down onto the table in-front of me. Looking around the table at my dining companions I look for a reaction to my mammoth plate of snap.
Unbelievably though, there is no reaction. The reason being they were too busy, mouths wide open, looking with disbelief at the size of their own belly busting burgers.

Sometimes however, you do get quantity and not quality. Not the case here my friend. Here the taste was every bit as good as it looked.

A smile has also been put on my face due to some further research that has uncovered GBK is a chain with over 40 restaurants dotted around the UK! Bring it on!

So, to sum up my highlight of my recent trip to London, three letters... GBK.
