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
