we wanted to find out all the differences

between TGI Fridays in the UK and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

Let's start with the starters.

Now, TGI Fridays in the UK and the US

both have lots of starter options.

So what we're gonna do is pick

the most popular ones and compare those.

First up, we have the mozzarella sticks.

An order of these in the UK contains four sticks.

In the US, our TGI Fridays mozzarella sticks

come in an order of six. Six sticks.

Or you can get the platter, which doubles that.

12 sticks.

Harry: We're gonna weigh three UK mozzarella sticks

to try and find the average weight.

Hey, Harry, is that three sticks?

Thought we, ah ...

thought that order had four. ["Don't Be Suspicious" plays]

So, three mozzarella sticks in the UK weighed 95 grams.

That means that each individual mozzarella stick

weighed an average of 31.6 grams.

Joe: Yes.

So, six sticks is 260 grams.

So that's roughly 43-point-repeating-3 grams per stick.

Now, pro tip, weigh your food,

then try one.

Mm.

TGI Fridays is running the mozzarella cheese stick game.

They're running the moz stick game.

Mm.

The UK does have loaded potato skins,

but they're not currently serving them due to the pandemic,

as they don't travel very well for delivery.

However, we were able to find some in the store.

When they are available in the restaurants,

they come in serving sizes of six or 12.

Well, we didn't have that problem in the US,

or maybe we just don't care.

Either way, loaded potato skins are totally available

at the US TGI Fridays, and they come in two sizes.

You can get them in eight,

or you get the platty boy, which is 12.

Chicken wings in the UK come in two portion sizes.

As a single portion of three wings,

or as a sharing portion,

which is six wings.

♪ Chicken wing, chicken wing ♪

Hey, Harry, when I said to compare the wings

between the US and the UK, I meant these wings.

Maybe it's cultural differences,

or maybe I just read the menu wrong.

Anyway!

In the US, our wings come in an order of 10,

or you can get a platter of either 30 or 50 wings.

Hell yeah, dude.

I wanna eat every single one of these wings.

If you like your chicken off the bone,

you can also get boneless wings at TGI Fridays,

in both the UK and the US.

Here they come in two portion sizes,

as a single, which is 7 ounces,

or as a sharing size, which is 14 ounces.

In the US, our TGI Fridays

offer boneless wings by ounces.

You can get 10 ounces, 40 ounces,

or a platter of 80 ounces.

Look at this. You have no idea how good this smells.

That is so good!

How are they so good?

The ribs in the UK come in two sizes,

as a half rack, or as a full rack.

And both come in either a legendary or a barbecue glaze.

Our ribs in the US also come in

a half slab or a full slab.

We're gonna weigh our large portion to see

who out of me or Joe has the biggest rack.

[ba-dum tish]

So, a large rack of ribs in the UK came to around 366 grams.

Bunch of children over there.

"Joe's rack."

Grow up!

All right, here we go.

Zoop!

Ooh, this guy's already falling apart.

Tender.

And a full slab in the US is almost 600 grams.

How do you like that?

I got the bigger rack.

Most meals in the UK

come with a side of fries by default.

So we're gonna weigh a regular portion of fries

to see what it comes to.

Joe: Yikes, ours is only 120.

120 for a side of fries in the US. Hm.

Here is everything you will only find on the menu

at a UK TGI Fridays.

And this is everything you can get in the US

and not the UK at a TGI Fridays.

Let's start with some appetizers.

For example, over here, we have these,

which are lightly spiced shrimp.

They're just shrimp which are breaded, fried,

and, I presume, lightly spiced.

It's slightly strange that they've been referred to

as shrimp on the menu here,

as it's more common in the UK to refer to them as prawn.

It seems like TGI Fridays UK have sided with

their American overlord, which is disappointing.

Then we have two garlic bread options.

This is a garlic ciabatta,

and then this one is a garlic ciabatta with cheese.

Pot stickers.

These things are so good, dude.

They're in no way authentic to what a pot sticker should be.

But in a category all of its own, those are pretty good.

The spinach and artichoke dip.

This is, like, classic TGI Fridays, right?

You know what we got in the US you don't got in the UK?

Wing roulette.

So, what that means is you can get,

I think, what looks like nine or 10 wings

and three different sauces,

but you can't tell, maybe you get a really spicy one,

maybe you get a mild one, you don't know.

Do you wanna play wing roulette with me, Conner?

There, you can take it with the paper.

But wait until I get mine.

Conner: Got it.

OK. All right, buddy. Ready?

Conner: Ready.

Wing roulette.

One, two, three.

I think I might've gotten the spicy one.

Ooh.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, I think I got the atomic one.

Yeah, dude.

That's fun.

Isn't that fun?

[laughing]

It's fun to torture your friends when you're out eating.

We have two exclusive chicken sandwich options.

For example, this one,

which is the Californian chicken club sandwich.

And then this one over here,

which is the Louisiana Hot Mess sandwich.

Next up, we've got some hot dogs.

This is the classic American hot dog.

There's really not that much to say about it

because it is just a hot dog on a bun.

Although Joe will be excited to learn

that it's not sliced in half.

It's a burger with cheese fries on it.

Look -- [laughs]

Look at this thing.

I gotta know. I have to know.

This is good, dude.

I would get this at TGI Fridays.

I'm surprised by how good this is.

So, we got a signature whiskey-glaze flat iron steak.

Bet that's the glaze sauce right there.

And then we got the New York strip.

The Dragon-Glaze Salmon, you got a shot of this before.

You know what I noticed?

They have this sizzling chicken and cheese dish.

So I'm assuming

it goes through the dining room sizzling on the plate.

Because, I noticed TGI Fridays does not have fajitas.

I'm surprised by that.

So if your US TGI Fridays has fajitas, let me know.

'Cause I didn't see them on our menu,

and I didn't see them on several other menus.

This is the Philly cheesesteak burger.

I don't know.

Oh, man, this thing's super messy.

They got the peppers, the onions, the melted cheese,

and what appears to be shredded beef,

and all on top of a burger.

No, thanks.

We have three sides which it looks like

you guys can't get in America.

We'll start with these ones from the back,

which are the Cajun spiced onion rings.

While you guys can get onion rings,

I thought it was worth pointing out

that these ones are Cajun spiced,

and they're only ones available on the UK menu.

[onion ring crunching]

Next up, we've got corn on the cob,

which comes served with butter

and what looks to be even more Cajun seasoning.

And then, once again, we have what is fast becoming

my archnemesis on this show,

which is the sweet potato fry.

Those of you who've watched episodes before

will probably know that I'm not the biggest fan

of sweet potato fries for this reason.

They go super soggy.

They are bland.

They are not as good as regular fries.

And they cost more. Stop ordering them.

Broccoli and cheddar soup.

Yo, that's -- oh, man.

That's been sitting for a while.

That broccoli odor just hit me.

Cheddar mac and cheese, a classic side.

Then there's also a kid's menu hot dog,

which is smaller in size

but also gives you the option to add cheese,

which, personally, not convinced is the best move,

but you do you.

Something for the kids.

Get sliders and fries,

mac and cheese.

What youngster doesn't like mac and cheese?

Come on, now.

And pasta, one with the marinara.

And it comes with a side of either fries

or probably some veggies or fruit, I don't know.

We also have milkshakes at TGI Fridays in the UK.

We've got two here, which are the Oreo shake

and the chocolate shake.

Fridays is known for their signature drinks,

their signature margs.

So you can get, at TGI Fridays in the US at least,

your margs to go in a single beverage,

or 64 fluid ounces of Fridays' margarita.

Hell yeah, dude.

You know I'm drinking all this tonight.

Thank you, Fridays.

Now, the one dessert option we were actually

able to pick up today was this,

the Chocolate Fudge Fixation cake.

It's a very indulgent-looking chocolate cake

with some chocolate icing, and also what looks like

a healthy layer of fudge in the middle.

You can get this really fun slice of rainbow cake

from, I think it's Carlo's Bakery rainbow cake.

Look at that, isn't that fun?

That's fun.

Cinnabon caramel pecan slice of cheesecake.

Dude, this, I bet, is amazing.

And I gotta give it up to TGI Fridays.

They were nice enough that each slice of cake

comes with a scoop of ice cream.

It's been a minute.

So imagine a scoop of ice cream with sprinkles in this.

Sorry, guys. We don't have a freezer.

Now, usually we'd have a lot more to show you,

but because of the pandemic,

TGI Fridays in the UK have reduced their operations.

So here's what you would normally be able to find

on top of what we've already shown you.

Avocado hummus, cheesy nachos, a rib eye steak,

a Texan steak, garlic chicken, king prawn linguine,

teriyaki salmon, fajitas, a Warrior burger
