Major Tom
The steak-house burger on the menu: a patty of 30-day dry-aged beef with blue cheese slaw, crispy bacon, smoked Applewood cheese, house relish and dill pickle. Dry-aged beef tastes deeper and slightly funky, and the blue cheese slaw pushes it further. Not for anyone who likes a mild burger.

About Gourmet Burger Kitchen
Gourmet Burger Kitchen opened in Battersea, south London, in 2001. It was started by three New Zealanders, Adam Wills, Greg Driscoll and Brandon Allen, with the New Zealand-born chef Peter Gordon shaping the menu, and it is credited with bringing the idea of a “gourmet burger” to London a decade before the city’s burger boom. A light Kiwi theme still runs through the restaurants, most obviously in the Kiwiburger.
Around ten restaurants after the 2020 restructuring, run from Birmingham by the Boparan Restaurant Group.
