Chips, cheese and gravy is a proper northern special, no argument there.
We thought we'd perfected the dish, but then we tried poutine. Our familiar takeaway's Canadian cousin, this dish of french fries, gravy and cheese curds may have originated in Quebec but it's become a solid UK favourite in recent years.
If you haven't tried it yet, you've been sorely missing out. Now is your chance, because Huddersfield poutine heroes Spuds & Bro's have just revealed their Leeds pop-up dates for May and you won't want to miss them.
Serving up loaded versions with different toppings, they cater to all diets - veggies and vegans included.
Spuds & Bros
Choices include 'the traditional with mozzarella, homemade gravy and cheese curds, 'the humdinger' with chicken, smoked bacon, halloumi and mushrooms, and 'the vegan one' made with vegan cheese, shawarma strips, fresh tomato, cucumber and sour cream with chives.
They're often seen serving from their food truck on Central Square at lunchtime, normally only appearing for a few hours, which makes them easy to miss.
They'll be back there on Tuesday 11th & 25th between 12-2pm, worth taking note of if you're around that part of town in the week.

The popular poutine masters will also be doing a one night only pop-up at Left Bank from 5pm until late on Friday, 14th May. From what we understand, Hyde Park's students are already marking off the date in their calendars.
Further dates have been confirmed at Leeds Dock, North Bar Social, Seven Arts as well as some locations further afield.
The popular street food traders have also confirmed they'll be reopening their Huddersfield site on May 17th.
A full list of confirmed Leeds dates has been posted to their Facebook page,

Jacob Elordi says the sexiest thing about Yorkshire is ‘rocks and sheep’
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
