Stop the search- we think we've found the biggest burger in Leeds.
Standing at a whopping twelve inches tall, the 'Massive Cock' burger from Yard and Coop is truly spectacular.
It's so big that, despite being held together by three wooden sticks, we had to get some extra hands on there to keep it up.
If you're looking for a foodie challenge, this certainly looks the most appetising too. There's no quick fixes or stodgy fillers in this burger, it's simply a huge stack of meat, sauces and assorted carb toppings, sandwiched between three burger buns.
The burger base is made from creamy slaw, lettuce, onion and tomato salad before two huge buttermilk chicken breasts are added, along with another slice of bread for good measure.
Sounds pretty big already right? This is just the beginning.
Added to this are chicken thighs, crispy bacon, two hash browns and 'not chicken' nuggets, American cheese, homemade beef chili, chicken gyozas and lashings of cheese sauce, ranch sauce, buffalo sauce and hot honey.
Now add an onion ring and the final brioche bun on top- that's the complete Massive Cock burger.

Served with fries, this is by far the biggest item on the menu and although one very hungry individual could eat their way through this in a single sitting, it could easily also serve two or three individuals.
Be warned, this burger isn't for the faint hearted (or the 'not so hungry') but its well worth a try.
Yard & Coop first opened in Leeds in 2019 and have since made quite an impression on us with their huge range of delicious fried chicken dishes.

As well as dishing up these mega burgers, they also do 10p wings every day – it really is the perfect spot for a few drinks with mates and a cheeky bit of chicken.
The beloved Domino Club is receiving its flowers, and rightly so.
Rapidly becoming one of the industry’s most respected accolade of excellence, The Pinnacle Guide is a worldwide ranking of the best bars across the globe.
Based on a thorough self-application process, rigorous assessment modules, followed by a series of spot check interviews and anonymous in-bar reviews, it's no easy feat to get a spot on this list.
Which is why it makes The Domino Club's achievement all that more impressive.
Known amongst locals and visitors alike as basically one of the coolest bars in town, the hidden speakeasy invites you through a barbershop in the Grand Arcade where downstairs you'll find a dimly lit jazz and cocktail bar oozing sex appeal.
Not only are the cocktails exceptional, but their live music listings is something to behold playing everything from jazz and funk to cabaret and disco every Wednesday - Sunday.
Announcing the news to Instagram, The Domino said: "Listed by The Pinnacle Guide. The Domino Club has been recognised on the global list of the world’s best bars.
"What began as a hidden basement bar in Leeds, built around live music, cocktails and atmosphere, is now being recognised alongside some of the finest bars in the world.
"A huge thank you to our team, musicians, suppliers and every single guest who has supported us over the years. This means a lot. Leeds belongs on the world cocktail map."
We absolutely could not agree more and if you haven't ventured behind the barbershop and discovered the magical Domino Club, then we very much recommend you do.
