we wanted to find out all the differences

between Chipotle in the UK and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

This is a UK chicken burrito.

We've also got some black beans, some white rice,

some lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guac as well inside.

We're gonna measure the length, the–

[auto-tuned record scratch]

I don't want to say girth.

Producer: You're gonna have to say girth.

I'm gonna make you. Harry: Aw, man.

Producer: There's going to be a lot of girth

in this episode.

Harry: Game face.

We're gonna measure the length,

the girth, and the weight of this burrito.

So, our burrito is 7 inches long.

Joe Avella: I have the same burrito Harry has right here.

Well, not the same one. The same order.

I don't know where the burrito ends and the tinfoil begins,

so I'm kind of eyeballing it.

It looks to be about

It looks to be about

between 7 1/4 and 7 1/2 inches.

Harry: A girth of 10 inches.

[saucy guitar music]

It has a girth of –

[laughs]

I promise I'm a professional.

Joe: Its circumference –

girth, really?

Going all the way around.

Almost exactly 10 inches.

Burrito is a 10, if you're

thinking about making it a tux.

[upbeat suave music]

Harry: And, finally, it weighs...

more than the scale can handle.

This isn't even the big boy.

Joe: Hey, told you guys to get a new scale.

We got a new scale.

Harry: Bear with us.

[distant screaming]

Harry: So, we're gonna weigh this burrito half at a time

to see what the total is.

Half one, 310.

And then this one,

plus I'll get the scraps from the plate.

So, combined, the two halves

of our burrito weighed 597 grams.

Joe: Chipotle's burrito order weighed –

man, that's hefty.

That is a hefty boy.

Harry: In the UK, we can also get our burritos

in bowl form.

This bowl contains the same ingredients as our burrito,

but obviously without the tortilla wrap.

Let's weigh it and see what it measures up to.

So, this one came out to pretty much exactly 500 grams,

which, even with the bowl factored in,

is, like, 100 grams less than the burrito.

Joe: So, this here is that same burrito ingredients

in bowl form.

Whoa, gonna have to go this way.

Oh, wow, I'm really smart.

Wait, is it heavier?

Wow. So, correct me if I'm wrong,

but there's more here than there was in the burrito.

Harry: Finally, we can get our meals

in the form of a salad.

Now, this has all the same ingredients as our bowl,

but without the rice.

Let's weigh it and see how much difference that makes.

Strangely enough, this came to pretty much

exactly 500 grams, the same as the burrito bowl.

Joe: And here is the salad version of that bowl,

which was the bowl version of that burrito.

Sticking with me so far?

Being weighed.

I do want to point out, this does have white rice on it.

I mean, salad is boring and disgusting.

I would never get one.

Harry: In the UK, you can only get one size

of chips on the side,

and that's roughly this many.

Some of these are a little bit fractured,

so I will just try and form whole chips where I can.

I'm like the Banksy of tortilla chips.

Banksy, you've done it again.

29, 30, and a half.

Joe: At a US Chipotle, you have two sizes of chips,

the regular

and the large.

Regular chips first.

That's gonna take forever.

All right, one.

[fast-forwarding]

25, 30, 35, some broken ones.

[normal speed] A regular bag is roughly 41 chips.

Now let's count the large.

75, 76.

Nearly double for the large bag of chips at Chipotle.

Very nice.

Harry: In the UK, we can only get

one size of guac on the side.

It's supposed to be 4 ounces.

We're gonna measure it to check if that's the case.

Ours was just shy of 4 ounces,

so pretty much right.

Joe: The guac in the US,

of course, comes in two sizes as well,

and I'm gonna weigh them just to make sure.

Just to keep them honest.

I don't know how much the measuring cup is.

So it should be over 4 ounces, if anything.

3.75.

[clears throat]

That's including the cup,

which, correct me if I'm wrong, you do not eat.

Skimping on the guac.

Don't act like 0.25 ounces isn't that much.

If it's not that much, then put it in there.

8 o-zeezers.

It's a little over 7.

Zoom in on that. I want to shame these people.

Shame on you, Chipotle.

You already charged us extra for it,

and you're also just not giving us

as much as we pay for.

Tsk,

tsk!

Harry: And, finally, we have tacos.

Oh, hell, yeah.

When we looked at the menu, they were only available

in a portion size of three.

In the UK, this taco is 6 inches in length.

We got a veggie taco,

which includes guac, salsa, sour cream,

cheese, fajita vegetables, and black beans.

And ours weighs....

Joe: At a US Chipotle,

you can get tacos in orders of one, two, or three.

This guy's falling apart.

It's a 6-incher.

And, of course,

I did not get a vegetarian taco.

This one has meats aplenty.

So it has different ingredients

than the one that they weighed,

making this weighing completely arbitrary!

Harry: Now, this [burrito thuds]

is the biggest burrito you can get at a UK Chipotle.

We chose chicken as the base,

but then we added every other meat as an add-on,

and we've also got all the vegetables and all the salsas.

They were a bit reluctant to make this,

but eventually they got it done,

and it seems to not be leaking,

so good job, guys.

Joe: This right here is the biggest burrito you can get

at a Chipotle in the US.

So big, in fact, I named it the Big Boy.

Got that?

Fantastic.

OK, "What's in it?" you ask.

Well, it's a carnitas burrito with double carnitas,

and I also got double barbacoa.

Of course it's double wrapped,

because it has guacamole, white rice, fajita veggies,

black beans, queso blanco, mild tomato,

I actually got all the salsas,

sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.

This runs about $18.20 in the US,

which is about 13 pounds and 16 shillings.

Harry: This burrito set me back 16 pounds 75,

which is around $22, which is quite expensive.

You're looking at kind of 2 pounds 70 per meat you add in,

so, honestly, if you're looking for just quantity for lunch,

it's probably cheaper to just get two single burritos.

Now, it's the same length as the other burrito,

coming in at 7 inches,

but you do get one extra inch of girth.

And, as we all know, a little goes –

[laughs]

As we all know, a little goes a long way.

[laughs]

Joe: Now I will measure the length

and thickness of this one.

Almost 9 inches.

OK, it's about 8 3/4.

Yo, this guy's a lot thicker.

So, that's about 11 1/2 inches of thickness.

It's much bigger.

Harry: What about the calories?

Well, this is the most popular burrito from Chipotle.

It contains eight ingredients:

chicken, white rice, black beans, sour cream,

guacamole, cheese, fresh tomato salsa, and lettuce.

This contains 1,320 calories,

540 of which are from fat.

It does contain 2,610 milligrams of sodium,

which is 113% of your daily allowance.

Joe: And in the US, that same burrito,

according to Chipotle, is the exact same nutrition

and calorie count.

They use the same smallwares and utensils

to make the burritos in the UK as they do in the US,

so everything should technically be the same.

That's what their PR people told us.

And, hey, if you can't trust

a major conglomerate's PR people,

who can you trust, right?

And if you get that same order in salad form

and didn't put rice on your salad like a maniac,

that would bring this calorie count down to about 800,

and it lowers the sodium to "only" 1,520 milligrams,

or 66% of what you should have in the day.

Chipotle also gives you the option

of having their vinaigrette salad dressing on the side,

which adds 220 calories,

bumping it back up over 1,000 to 1,020 calories

and bumping up the sodium to 2,327 milligrams,

or 101% of your daily –

basically, it's liquid salt.

What's with the...? Jeez.

Harry: If you choose to get your burrito in a bowl form,

that loses you 320 calories,

bringing it down to an even 1,000.

Now it's only around 40% of your daily caloric allowance.

It still contains 1,855 milligrams of sodium, however.

In the UK, a side of chips is 540 calories.

Joe: Same with our regular chips here.

Now, if you upgrade to the large,

that's going to be 810 calories.

Harry: If you were to enjoy these with a side of guac,

that's an extra 230 calories.

Joe: Now, if you wanted to upgrade to the large guac,

that's gonna be an additional 460 calories.

Harry: Now, Chipotle as a brand prides themself

on being quite a healthy option.

They're not using too many artificial ingredients.

In the US, they actually make a big deal

of only needing 53 ingredients across the entire menu.

However, in the UK, when we totaled up

all of the ingredients, we found 67.

So, as you all know if you watch "Food Wars,"

that's kind of unusual that there's more things

in the US than in the UK.

Joe: The only ingredient in the US Chipotle

that gave me a bit of pause was something called gypsum.

Gypsum's also known as calcium sulfate [di]hydrate, right?

OK, and Chipotle uses that in their tofu process

when they separate the chunks from the liquid.

Gypsum is also found in drywall, chalk, and shampoo.

Of course it is.

Now, does the gypsum stay in the tofu,

or is it just used for the separating purposes?

I don't care.

I'm never getting tofu from Chipotle.

Harry: Put the beast back in front of me.

Let's look at some ingredients for the flour tortillas.

In the UK, the tortillas contain fortified wheat flour
