Rate My Takeaway presenter and Yorkshire Youtuber, Danny Malin, has opened a fast food takeaway in Leeds.
The internet sensation was 'wowed' by a friends' burger and has set up a burger trailer with them as a business partner as a result.
Danny Malin already owned Robin Lane Deli on Robin Lane, Pudsey, but decided to remodel the business after tasting friend Ashleigh Steel's burgers.
Since Ashleigh opened her small burger trailer named 'Brodys' in Inter City Way, Bramley, just a few months ago in November 2021, her burgers had become a local sensation.
Offering American-style chicken and beef burgers, amongst other fast food choices, the takeaway was known for its lengthy queues and was incredibly popular with the local community.

Danny Malin visited Brody's, but instead of there being a trailer, the pair ordered from a small building space in Pudsey. The Rate My Takeaway star posted a video entitled 'The One Takeaway I Couldn't Rate', reviewing the 'nice and fried up' wings, chicken burgers, milkshakes and more.
At the end of the video, Danny announced he was actually the owner of Brody's now permanent space in Pudsey.
"I can't actually rate this because I actually own this place. so it's mine guys I've finally gone and done it. I'm in business with this lovely lady here and we've put a menu together"

The 41 minute video has since received almost 100,000 views and the comments are full of congratulatory messages.
Having met owner Ashleigh six years ago when delivering meat from Malcom Michaels Quality butchers to a deli where Ashleigh worked, the pair have known each other for a while.
According to Danny, Ashleigh's work ethic is one of the reason he decided to work with her.
Danny will be a 'silent partner' in this business, leaving Ashleigh and her team to run the store day-today.
Malin is set to take a trip to America to continue rating takeaways, but if you want a bite of some of his own food from Brody's, you can visit the takeaway on Robin Lane in Pudsey.

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
