As we say a sad farewell to Braizin Squad cooking up a storm on Green Room's rooftop, it's time to say hello to someone new...
And that special someone is none other than street food royalty, Bastards Bistro.
Taking over the kitchen on Monday 23 September, these legends will be serving up everything from brunch to lunch and of course Sunday roasts for their Winter residency at one of Leeds' hottest bars.
So what can you expect to munch on then?

Well, the menu is currently top secret but we'll fill you in on a few secrets.
A few highlights on their world-inspired menu include brunch bao buns stuffed to the brim with sausage, homemade hash and a fried quail egg, probably the perfect hangover cure if you ask us.
As well as chicken gyros, pork belly banh mi's and beetroot poke bowls.
They will also be cooking up a banging Sunday roast featuring everything from braised ox cheek to roast porchetta and chicken supreme serve with all the hearty trimmings.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Bastards Bistro said: "We are pleased and very proud to announce our next residency will be at the award winning Green Room. Taking over the reins from our pals Braizin Squad as they move onto another exiting project themselves.
"Expect Brunch / Lunch / Roasts and a few exiting events to be announced at a later date! We cant wait to move into our new gaff! See you 23rd Sept ya Bastards."
It's fair to say this news has definitely made the thought of transitioning into the colder months that little bit easier, and we can't wait to try out their fantastic new menu. Alongside a couple of Green Room's signature drinks of course.
Book your spot in advance to avoid disappointment on the Green Room website here, but walk-ins, as always, will be welcomed too.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
Inside the modern Japanese grill coming to Leeds from the team behind Fern Modern Sushi
Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.
Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
