From calorie counts to portion sizes, we wanted to find out all the differences between Hard Rock Cafe in the U.S. and the U.K.

Let's break down the burger that started it all, the original Legendary Burger.

Here's the original Legendary Burger in the U.K.

That's a pretty big difference from 280 to 318 grams.

And of course, all their burgers come with a side of seasoned fries.

We're gonna weigh ours to see how much we're getting.

They feel so soggy right now in my hands.

Another iconic menu item is Baby Back Ribs.

We're gonna weigh our U.K. portion to find out how much we're getting.

That sounds like too much ribs for one sit-down dinner.

The Cowboy Rib Eye is supposedly 16 ounces of beef.

Meat does shrink, so a little wiggle room is to be expected, but I feel like that's a pretty decent chunk.

I'll be more upset about losing out on some of this meat.

It just looks like such a big portion that I'm like, it's fine.

But it is four ounces that we're missing that was advertised, so I understand.

Strangely, the Cowboy Rib Eye is advertised as being 14 ounces here in the U.K.

I'm not sure why we're getting shortchanged, but we're gonna measure it to keep them honest.

So our U.K. Cowboy Rib Eye has actually only come to 10 1⁄2 ounces.

I understand that steaks do lose some of their mass while cooking, but 3 1⁄2 ounces?

This is Food Wars, so you know we gotta weigh these nachos.

I'm gonna weigh them with the paper because our scalers have enough trauma already.

I'm interested to see which country has bigger wing portions, so let's count them out.

I'm gonna let them have this one because we've literally been destroying them in these portion sizes this entire time, so you know what?

Hard Rock Cafe is also known for its famous onion ring tower.

Now, on the menu, they don't specify how many onion rings you get in a tower.

However, in a promotional photo, I counted eight, so we're gonna count ours out now and see if that's true or if we get more or less than we were promised.

I'm gonna try my hardest to beat Harry in the onion ring tower making.

Somehow built this the wrong way around, so it's getting wider near the top.

So while my tower design failed horribly, we did get 11 onion rings in our onion ring tower as a side.

Let's compare Hard Rock's apple cobbler in the US and the UK.

I'm resisting every urge I have to bite into it right now.

So the apple cobbler in the UK came to 376 grams.

Here are all the menu items you'll find at a Hard Rock in the UK that you won't find in the US.

Here's all the food that you'll find at Hard Rock Cafe in the US that you won't find in the UK.

There are a couple of burgers you'll find in the US, but not in the UK.

The turkey burger and the Impossible burger.

I think Impossible beef isn't available in the UK yet.

There's an ingredient in it called soy leg hemoglobin, which is approved in the US, but not in the UK.

That soy leg hemoglobin is doing what it needs to do.

That's the ingredient that makes this taste like actual beef and it's working.

I can tell texture-wise in the back of my head, this is not beef, but it's doing enough where I don't really care.

There's also a small difference in the classic legendary burger in the two countries.

The UK uses just regular cheddar cheese, while the US specifically uses Tillamook cheddar.

Tillamook is a popular creamery based in Oregon.

I'm not gonna bite into everything here today because we are gonna give some of this away, but if there's anything that catches my eye particularly, then I'll give it a try.

We actually have quite a few exclusives in the UK, so I'll start at this end and work my way down.

I think they are pretty much as the name suggests.

It's a taco, which is a, I think is a flour tortilla with some pieces of seasoned cauliflower in there, as well as some slaw, some sauce, and some jalapenos.

This one really just does what it says on the tin.

It's just half of a chicken, which has been grilled and covered in barbecue sauce.

It's almost unnerving how accurately they have halved this chicken.

It's literally like they've just gone straight through the middle of it with like a laser beam and sliced the thing in two.
