Show Notes

Ever devoured a Gourmet Burger Kitchen burger? Or demolished a Crosstown Doughnut?

Both are tremendous at every bite and put a smile on my face. 

That's why I was thrilled to interview @Adam Wills, co-founder of Crosstown Doughnuts and GBK. 

In 1997, Adam landed in the UK from New Zealand. 

On this wet little island, he pioneered the Casual Dining movement that we all love. 

Much like All Blacks rugby, our conversation ducks and weaves and glides deep into Kiwi culture. 

We surface with Gourmet Learnings from Cross cultures and continents. 

Implore all UK foodie businesses to go to Town on this episode. 

You'll come away with double-stacked learnings to implement immediately.
