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.
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.
