Danny Malin released another Leeds food review today, and its one that's been highly recommended for quite some time.
Things In Bread on Boar Lane has managed to keep foodies well fed since opening in January, and it hasn't been uncommon to see queues down the street once office lunch hour kicks in.

Featuring on Rate My Takeaway, the menu was "like a dream come true" Malin announced as he ordered the Full Brekkie, Fish Finger and Ham Ploughman's sandwiches.
The takeaway star also confirmed he would be releasing his third charity single for Leeds Hospital Charity, giving a hint at some of the lyrics "Santa's from up North, bet he likes a Yorkshire..."
Starting with the Full Brekkie, Malin described the breakfast sandwich as "a homemade patty, nice crispy bacon, cheese, omllette, brown sauce - this could be what dreams are made of… oh my god", "the bacon, it's just how I like it, crispy bacon … oh yes!"

"this bread is absolutely gorgeous, thick doorstep wedge toasted ,buttered, full of flavour, and the bread has got a nice crunch to the edge and a sweetness."
"I can't stress to you enough how deliciously wonderful this bread is"
The Fish Finger received a similar positive response, "quality fish finger, beautiful taste to them they've got a bit of crisp, a bit of softness, seasoned with salt and pepper on the lettuce".
Danny was particularly impressed with the price of the meal deal "for city centre prices".

Onto the cold sandwich option, the ploughman's: "oh my days look at this pickle, cheese, ham, tomato, lettuce, buttered up oh my days this is like a proper wedge … absolutely quality, I can't talk that is just a proper, proper sandwich. I was a bit worried with these being warm, but it's still nice and crispy on the edge."
The Rate My Takeaway YouTuber declared Things In Bread the "best sandwich place in Leeds, without a shadow of a doubt" giving the store a 10/10 score, noting he'd only come across sandwiches like this before in Paris.
Doesn't get better than that does it.
After the rave review for Things In Bread, Malin and the cameraman headed around the corner to Doh'hut, the original store serving sweet treats in Leeds before branching out to open TIB at the start of the year.
Opting for a Lemon Meringue and Sticky Toffee donuts with "what looks like a sticky toffee gravy that you dip in", the treats were described as "nice and soft, fresh, you can see them cooking inside" - and with the recommendation that passers by should make their own meal deal: get a sarnie, drink and crisps from Things In Bread and then wander around the corner to grab a donut for a £12 lunch that keeps you going.
The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
