Danny Malin, the face of food-ranking channel Rate My Takeaway, has listed some of his best and worst takeaways of all time.
The Leeds presenter gave a shout-out to some of his favourite spots during his guest appearance on the Happy Hour Podcast in August, whilst also reflecting on his least enjoyable meal.
Malin has amassed a six-figure following on YouTube for his series in which he tries takeaways all over the country, taking a camera on the road with him.
Getting recommendations from viewers, Malin films each experience - giving every restaurant a mark out of ten.
So far, he's been to Bradford for chocolate kebabs and to Bolton for a breakfast cooked by a grandma, but among the dozens of places he's visited, a few stood out from the pack.
Malin named three takeaways he loved the most - saying he'd found the best one a matter of days ago.
In third, he listed Chez Joel - a little food van in the centre of Leeds near Trinity - where he sampled a French taco and beef patty for a fiver.
"You can go to London and pay £200 [for that]... and [Chez Joel] will beat it any day," he said.
In second place was Abdul's in Wakefield - one of the first videos he ever recorded.
"The naan bread was like heaven... and the curry was just unreal," he commented.
Top of the pile, however, was Nibble - a cafe hidden away between office blocks in Hull.
Malin said he ordered a breakfast sandwich and a chorizo waffle with maple bacon and eggs, along with a chicken tikka wrap and a cookie brownie for dessert - and ended up loving the lot.
He was also urged to order a side of hash browns - which turned out to be a "taste sensation".
Malin also spoke out about one of the more unpleasant experiences he's had during the series - when he travelled all the way up to Scotland to sample a 'munch' box.
Reflecting on the experience, Malin told the podcast: "I'm stood there and they're cooking this food in this fryer, and I could just smell they'd probably not changed the oil since [the] War."
"I opened the box... and it just hit ya. This waft of 30-year-old oil. It turned my stomach a little bit."
Malin also compared the sausage to a "dead finger" and the burger having what looked like "warts".
"So, yeah... it got a 1 [rating]," Malin admitted.
"But I did upgrade to a 2 for the bottle of Irn Bru."

Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.
Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.
We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.
And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.
We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.
The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.
The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.
Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.
"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"
Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.
Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.
We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.

Early flight? Breakfast is available until 11am with options including fluffy waffles, French toast bites, chicken and waffles drenched in maple syrup as well as traditional cooked breakfasts and American-style bagels.
Those travelling later in the day can tuck into smash burgers, chicken wings, loaded hot dogs, gooey mac and cheese and even a BBQ platter complete with ribs, corn and wings.
There’s also a menu specifically designed for the little ones, featuring waffles, beans on toast and scrambled eggs on toast, alongside burgers, chicken tenders and mac and cheese throughout the day.
And if you fancy a drink before take-off, because it wouldn't be a trip to the airport without a tipple, Monty’s has that covered too.
There's freshly poured pints on offer as well as cocktails, or you can have the proper American experience with a 'hard shake' - their classic thick milkshakes but made boozy.
