A sandwich uses sandwich bread. A burger uses a bun or bread roll. In Australia and New Zealand, calling a chicken burger a chicken sandwich is just odd (and wrong). Just sayin....

[@elimgarak7090]

It's american food.

[@karatekid-nq6ct]

Lmao '' just sayin '' like what you said matters, it's a US restaurant, they come up with the names and your petty nonsense is so childish. NZ is so small but always acts so big, if you took away all American restaurants in NZ people would go through withdrawals, because even though you all like to act smarter than Americans you sure do love their stuff. You're odd and wrong with your island syndrome thinking everyone has to conform to your ways when the US brought something new to NZ and all of you filled the restaurant immediately because there's not much else to do in this country lmao.

I couldnt believe how NOT spicy the Ghost pepper burger at BK was. It was hardly noticeable. This country would find mayo spicy. The only truly spicy fast food experience I have had here is with Hell pizza when they did the Angry dragon, and roulette. I couldnt finish the angry dragon. Only managed 3 slices before I tapped out. Look forward to eventually trying popeyes.

Yes, I've been curious to know if our ranch sauce actually taste the same as American ranch. I'm not a fan of ranch but Americans obviously love ranch especially when it comes to eating fried chicken, their drowning their chicken in ranch that's why I'm curious to know if it's the same as I don't get the hype if it is.

Sorry Brock, but if its on a burger bun its a burger, no matter the meat, if its on normal sliced bread, then its a sandwich

[@elimgarak7090]

Burger is beef. Americans call mince as ground beef or "hamburger." Hamburger is the old fashioned word for mince in the usa. It's part of the dialect. So, if it's beef, it's a burger. If it's chicken, it's a sandwich. Because chicken isn't made of hamburger. That's why americans call it a sandwich if it's not beef.

We’ve tried it here in NZ twice now. It was super busy because it had just opened. I thought it was good. The biscuit ( scone) thing is weird, I’d far rather have a nice soft roll with it. Mac & cheese is a weird side too though my daughter likes it. I’m always a chicken burger fan so I always choose that. Good to hear it’s similar to the one in the U.S. sorry you didn’t get your sauce, I hate that! Especially if you’ve paid extra for it.

[@Ron-uq2hg]

An American Biscuit is not the same as a New Zealand Scone. The biscuit has a slightly different recipe. Best meal with American. Biscuits covered with white sausage gravy. Very popular in the south. Biscuits with sausage gravy and a side of grits with butter and for me iced tea not sweet tea. that’s one of the things I really miss about America.

There may be a few ingredients that are not allowed in NZ that are legal in the US. NZ has fairly tight food restrictions when it comes to additives. Other changes are probably due to regional taste.

Awesome! Hope they open some more a bit closer. Takanini is a long way to drive for takeaways... Maybe not getting the sauce is a NZ thing.

[@thundercid1533]

@@michaelmarama-de4gxIt may seem like that to you, but for a Kiwi, there only small differences between an American biscuit and a scone, in taste. A scone is essentially soda bread that we always eat fresh, piping hot out of the oven, with sweet or savoury spreads and condiments (usually sweet). Unlike British scones which are round and larger than American biscuits, the scones I was raised with were the size of a man’s hand palm and irregularly shaped.

Nice Brock, I've not been before but since your review it sounds like a nice alternative to KFC. It's also pronounced Pie-roar-a but roll the 'r' when you say it.
