Since opening last November, Silver's Deli has made a name for itself for serving up the best sarnies in Leeds.
But these aren't just your average sandwiches.
Owner Chris has studied the art of New York-style subs for years, and has done us all a favour by bringing them to our humble city in West Yorkshire.
Freshly baked sub rolls as long as your forearm jam-packed with as much filling as humanly possible.

Freshly sliced cold cut deli meats, handmade meatballs slathered in their secret recipe marinara sauce, and the famous prime brisket which is cured for over a week (yes, really) and slow cooked for hours so it's tender and just down right delicious.
If you're there before 11:30am, you'll be lucky enough to get your chops around one of their unreal breakfast buns.
Soft brioche buns stuffed with creamy cold-pan scrambled eggs, homemade sausage patties, hand crafted spicy mayo and caramelised onions.

These bad boys blow McDonald's right out of the water and are good enough to cure any hangover (tried and tested).
Served alongside a coffee made with Dark Woods beans, we can't think of a better way to kickstart the day.
Silver's take pride in the quality of their ingredients and you can really tell.

They make their own sausage patties using meat from the local butchers, they make all their own sauces and even bake their own cookies using their very own brown butter which takes a whopping two hours to make.
You'll see this is completely worth it once you devour one of those gooey pieces of heaven.
Most days you'll find queues out the door of this cool corner deli, with most people wanting to get their hands on 'The Salt Beef' - a sub roll which is quite frankly harder to get your hands on than a Glastonbury ticket.

But everything at Silver's Deli is worth queueing for, especially the Sunday special which changes weekly and has previously featured a monstrous Sunday dinner sarnie and a naughty focaccia and fried chicken creation.
Located ten minutes out of the city centre in Bramley, this neighbourhood deli has taken the city by storm and we can certainly see why.
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.
The Leeds Supper Club bringing people together over incredible food
Clementine Hall
What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.
Keep an eye on their Instagram page here for all upcoming events.
