I had a Kiwiburger down in Christchuch last December. I tried unsuccessfully to flush it from memory... it was a standard burger with egg and something that looked like a slice of beet! However, the most attractive local Christchurch fast food joint was a BK that all decked out in U.S. retro (1920's - '60s); classy job.
I've been to that BK and I agree wholeheartedly - it really is a tourist attraction in its own right.
It is well situated in Christchurch too. I recall my first trip to Christchurch on my honeymoon in 1994. At that time we visited a Beatles 60s themed restaurant there that was very good. It was called the Sergeant Peppers Steak House and it is adorned with Beatles posters , records - it is really like stepping back into the 60s.
I found the following article about it. If it is still standing go visit it next time you are in Christchurch.

I also recommend visiting the day of the Santa Parade in Christchurch.
