Two of Leeds' best independents are collaborating on some very special sandwiches.
In a collaboration more powerful than Rihanna and Eminem, Get Baked and Silver's Deli are joining forces to create some very special sandwiches.
It's safe to say that Get Baked is basically a viral sensation, famed for their incredible Bertha cake and most recently their Calpol-flavoured cookies.
A few months ago they opened their newest bakery in Manchester, but their Headingley site is the OG and for that reason us Leeds lot are about to be treated to their newest sandwich menu first. Take that Manchester.

But it's not just any sandwich menu, Get Baked has chosen Silver's Deli to partner up with and we're absolutely buzzing.
Silver's over in Bramley hasn't been around for long, but they've made a name for themselves as the best sandwiches in Leeds and it's easy to see why.
Homemade bread stacked with the very best ingredients, we're particularly fond of their breakfast sandwich featuring cheesy eggs stuffed inside a buttery, glistening brioche bun.
As of tomorrow, Saturday 19 July, you'll be able to get your Silver's fix at Get Baked in Headingley.
And if you head down on launch day, you might be able to bag yourself a free one as they'll be giving away a free hoagie to the first 500 customers.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Get Baked said: "The launch of Silver’s x GB Headingley is fast approaching. Eight sensational sandwiches, with seasonal rotations to keep things exciting for all involved. Mainly you. But also me, really.
"Not been this excited about a hoagie since Subway opened in Leeds when I was a little boy. I remember going with my mum and everything felt so American. Mental to think how good Subway was when it first opened over here — just look at it now, absolute bloody hell hole."
They'll be opening up in Manchester soon, but for now it's Leeds who gets to bask in the carb-fuelled glory.
So get down there from 12pm tomorrow to get a free sarnie, but don't mess about as we see queues on the horizon.
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
