"It's way tastier" and "It's much tastier that way" Are these meanings of two sentences same?
I learned how to make sentences using "way + adjective-er" then made some sentences.
Most burgers in this restaurant are way tastier than other restaurants in this town.
There is no happier way to start a day than with a cup of great coffee.
I accidentally put some salt in porridge instead of sugar but it's much tastier that way.
Planes are way easier to get to the next town than trains.
Are these sentences correct?
Thank you!

A "It's way tastier", and B "It's much tastier that way". Are these meanings of two sentences same?
No. "Way" as in A : this is a modern, informal, idiomatic US English usage, with "way" being used as an intensifier (like "very" or "much" ) before an adjective or a comparitive. It has no sense at all of traditional "way" meanings, either of direction or of method. It's well understood everywhere I think, but is not for use in formal writing except in direct speech by a younger person.
"Way" as in B: This is standard English. "Much" is functioning as an intensifier, and "that way" has the dictionary meaning of {cooked with that} "method". This might help : https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/way
Most burgers in this restaurant are way tastier than those from other restaurants in this town. Idiomatic usage
There is no happier way to start a day than with a cup of great coffee (or "a great cup of coffee"). OK - standard usage.
I accidentally put some salt in porridge instead of sugar, but it's much tastier that way. OK - standard usage.
Planes are way easier to use to get to the next town than trains are. "Way easier" is OK, idiomatic, but you can't really use "planes" (subject) "are easier to get to" (verbal phrase) like that. I've suggested minimal additions to make your sentence work, but it might be better turned around, to something like "To get to teh next town, it's way easier to use planes than trains. "
Are these sentences correct?
