Aren't those the UK made version? You'll have to tell us if they taste the same or not. They aren't going to be made with quite the same ingredients as the US. :)

American foods that are actually made here are made to the UK taste/palate. So they aren't the same.
The shakes at Byron burger are amazing! I really want one now.

There's also EU restrictions on what can go into food that make it taste different.

My husband loves Byron burger shakes!  We went to one on our second day in London in 2014, and then we went to Byron burger, like, twice more during our 4-day trip.  I didn't mind because they had American-style yellow mustard, and proper pickle slices, so my burger tasted good.  :)

If there's a 7 Bone burger near you, try one of their shakes. Very comparable to Byron. To be honest, 7 Bone itself is quite comparable to Byron in general.

The nearest Byron is closer than the nearest 7 Bone.  We moved away from the area that had all the things, it seems.  Bristol for Byron Burger is the closest we've got.

I'm surprised Bristol doesn't also have a 7 Bone! Bristol is good though! :)

My inlaws are in Bristol, so we go there reasonably often.  Problem is, we go there to have dinner with them.  So we can't enjoy the restaurants that are there.  We've been wanting to go to Wahaca again since our one visit in London in 2014.   :o

Ideally, we'd convince them to go out to eat, to one of the restaurants we want to go to.  But they insist on cooking for us, and they can't cook!  My husband and I like our food to have flavour and appropriate textures.  They don't seem to like flavour or appropriate texture.  Or maybe they just have terrible palettes and can't taste it..?  Food, and eating, seems to be simply a necessary chore in their house.  :(

We avoid going.  :P
