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.

Domo has confirmed it will officially open the doors to its first Leeds venue on Friday June 5, so we really don't have long to wait.

We can’t wait for people in Leeds to experience not just the food and drinks, but the atmosphere and sense of community that sits at the heart of everything we do.”
The Sheffield institution serving the city’s favourite sandwich for over 60 years
Clementine Hall
Of course, it's the one and only Béres.
It all started back in 1961 when Hungarian butcher Sandor Béres left his home city of Budapest during the 1956 uprising against the Stalinist government.
After the government took control of his father's butchers shops, Sandor set out to establish the chain once more and so, Béres was born.
And thank god it was, as for over 60 years now their iconic pork sandwich has been fuelling the hungry people of Sheffield, and we'd go as far to say it's one of the best sarnies in the city.

Hot roast pork, herby stuffing, crispy crackling and fruity apple sauce all crammed into a soft bap - it really doesn’t get much better than that.
But, what makes it so special? Béres claims it's all in the preparation and quality control.
Being a traditional butchers, their pork joints are traditionally roasted and cured in house to give that succulent texture and crispy crackling every single time.
They use around seven tonnes of pork and four tonnes of flour per week to feed us hungry lot, and it's no surprise when you see the queues forming outside your local Béres every lunch time.

The very first shop was born at Wadsley Bridge where they quickly built a reputation for their sandwiches, this then allowed them to become a proper Sheffield household name after expanding rapidly through the 2000s.
They now have 14 sites across Sheffield, and each site is as good as the next. Not only are the pork sandwiches class but if you're ever faced with a hangover no matter how severe, their stacked breakfast baps are always there to save the day.
But why we love Béres most of all is the lovely staff who are always there to offer a smile and a chinwag, but what else do you expect from the people of Sheffield hey?
