Can we get back on topic people? This is a cool concept, who cares if everyone copies it tomorrow…?!?!? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And as mentioned before, we are talking about BURGERS here, a pretty generic dish. All Burger joints in Kuwait do things differently. So great if you have a preference. This place is NOT just another burgers joint though, instead the chef is going to be cooking in front of people. And from the name I am guessing bistro/diner food. He is Kuwaiti, and I think that is pretty cool of him. If I like the cooking awesome, if I DONT i will still respect the concept and be thankful for the VAST eatery options I have in Kuwait.

Getalife, i have been reading your posts on this issue and its like reading a Sherlock Holmes novel. You keep throwing out theories hoping something can stick. Just a question do you have anything to base what you say, or is it all hear say and rumors you pick up. I mean really, for a guy that says one thing and then another, your a walking contradiction. A post should be factual or stating ones opinion, when you say stuff like some say this other say that, your the smoke and fire combined. So unless your going to add value to this conversation, do like your name and GETaLife.

P.S All the best to Ahmed, there is no harm in innovation, cause without it we would all be stagnate.

Getalife what old owners what rumors? All I see here is you making up stuff as you go. The guy just explained he didn’t work at NINOs ever and its been the same owner of the business since day 1. If you don’t believe him call him up.

Dear Getalife,

My name is Georgy John and Im the operations Manager of Gastronomica, the company which owns Burger Boutique. Im the first employee of this company ( joined in 2003 Jan) and I can assure you that the capsule model of Burger Boutique was made and created by Basil Al Salem even before we found a location in Arraya or even before I joined the company. There is no staff working in our company from Nino and if you are talking about me; this is my first job outside India. ( Unless Ive had a previous birth and you have met with me in Nino). And also, im not a chef. The only thing I cook is fish curry and that tastes ridiculous.

It took Basil years of research and product and recipe execution to have created b+f. Sliders was part of the original b+f menu and it was just an American food item that he wished to introduce in the menu. ( Accusing us of stealing the idea is like telling Burger King they stole French Fries from Mcdonalds). Its a universal thing my friend!! Biriyani is not copied from Mughal Muhal if Taal serves it. I guess, if not anyone, its us who has been copied. Any doubts, call me, I will clarify with facts.

And about Burger Hub being in the strip first; I would like to clarfiy that when we had taken over from Navy restaurant ( for Slider Station), Burger Hub was not operational. We got delayed in opening Slider Station only because the design adaptment and construction took time. Also we had a few issues with the contractor.

Nevertheless, I would like to speak out to all my friends out here that before posting anything on the internet, they should get the facts right. I have been living in Kuwait now for almost six years and this is my second home, if not the first. I have been associated with Basil for the past seven years and Im proud to say that all our concepts have been rolled out by him from scratch, from recipe to design; with great care, constant research and highest creativity.

Im not sure if Basil will like me writing in this strip and giving such an explanation but I just cant help it as Im very disappointed with these kind of demotivatiing and baseless remarks about a creative concept produced hundred percent from scratch. Friends, you must support a Kuwaiti who has been creating world class concepts and be proud of him, no matter he is a friend or foe. Rather, its disappointing to see you spreading rumours.

If you have any further doubts on what i say is true or not, please drop by my office and I shall show you the history of work, research, trials, recipe development and constant cooking sessions that we have done from year 2003.

Georgy John,
Ph: 22464311 (Any one has a doubt, call me)
