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.

A bakery serving giant NYC-style cookies and fluffy cinnamon buns has just opened in Leeds
If you've got a seriously sweet tooth, then you're going to love this new opening.
It seems like there's been a flurry of new bakeries popping up in and around Leeds recently, and we're certainly not complaining.
Introducing Crumbb, a beautiful new bakery that has just opened its doors on Hyde Park Road just moments outside of the city centre.
Owner Naila started the businesses as a wholesaler six years ago, stocking up local businesses from far and wide with sweet treats.

Since then, Crumbbs opened its first location in Bradford just a few months ago that has been nothing short of a resounding success. So much so, that Crumbbs 2.0 was born right here in Leeds a few days ago.
Right, let's talk you through what's on offer.
For the sweet toothed out there, there's a whole myriad of treats for you to enjoy. We're talking giant NYC-style cookies, fluffy cinnamon buns topped with gooey icing, brownies slices, cookie muffins, rocky road, flapjack, the list is truly endless.

You can even get warm cookie trays and hot brownies to enjoy in house that can be topped with ice cream or thick custard.
And it doesn't stop there, Crumbbs also whip up freshly baked savoury focaccia slices as well as cheese twists, pizza slices and savoury rolls filled with creamy mozzarella and herbs.
They've also got a fabulous drink selection on offer including matcha, coffee and hot chocolates.
Located in Headingley, we've got a feeling this spot is going to be a huge hit with students and locals alike looking to get their sweet treat fix. But they'll have to beat us to it first.
The hidden Leeds bakery serving giant cheese twists, pickle sausage rolls and chocolate focaccia
Clementine Hall
This spot in the city is baking up some weird and wonderful creations.
But you'll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on them, as it's only open one day a week for all your doughy desires.
Introducing Fold, a focaccia-focused bakery by the talented team behind The Cheesy Living Co.
Rewind to this time last year and with three restaurants flourishing across Leeds, the team needed a space to bake all their bread and sweet treats in-house to supply to sites.

And this is where Fold came in, located underneath the arches of Brussels Street on the outskirts of the city centre - it may take a while to find this spot but once you have, it'll be worth it.
And they're making some of the most inventive bakes that we've seen.
Of course there'll always be a focaccia on offer, with flavours ranging from crispy chilli oil, sesame and spring onion to kimchi, cheese and pistachio.

And it's not just savoury focaccia, you'll even find gooey chocolate and banana focaccia as well as Biscoff waffle focaccia....yep, seriously.
Elsewhere they specialise in gigantic footlong cheese twists with more crispy bits than soft, as well as chorizo and cheese stuffed sausage rolls and a range of freshly baked bagels for you to go home and smear in your cream cheese of choice.

Some seriously spectacular specials have been the gochujang cookies and the 'pickle roll', basically like a sausage roll but with...pickles.
It seems there's really no boundaries for where these bakes will go, and you can guarantee that every visit will be different than the rest.
Only open on Saturdays from 10am - 1pm, Fold are changing the baking game. Pop in and say hello, you won't be disappointed.
