Leeds’ build-your-own-burger joint goes viral in Rate My Takeaway video

18th July 2022

Hooyah is one of Leeds’ favourite takeaway spots, there’s no doubt about that.

The build-your-own-burger joint has been praised since opening for its huge portions and flavoursome burgers, and now that the brains behind the burgers have got a city centre restaurant open on Albion Place, it’s becoming more popular than ever.

And that was all before the joint received over 150,000 views on a single YouTube video.

Sharing the burger joint with the world through a screen, Rate My Takeaway Star Danny Malin made a video about his visit to Hooyah last week.

The Rate My Takeaway star made his own burger with a double helping of beef and chicken, describing it as: “I’ve got nice crispy bacon proper quality burgers lovely bits of buttermilk”, topped with loaded fries combo and a side of buttermilk chicken”.

Want to make your own version? Each burger starts at an equal price of £9.99 and can be ordered with a range of additional sharers like chicken strips, onion rings and a vast selection of thick, creamy milkshakes.

On the menu, you choose everything from what type of bun to whether or not you add pickles, simply make your selections by writing on their menus and build your own burger combo.

Go through the four different types of buns, wraps and salads before selecting the patty: there’s Beyond Meat vegan, two 4oz beef and a choice of either fiery or regular buttermilk chicken before moving onto the complimentary salad options.

There’s even four different types of cheese to choose from (american, nacho, mozzarella and Applewood smoked vegan) and a whopping 15 different sauces.

After that it’s an extra 25p-£1.50 to add extra toppings like slaw, caramelised onion, onion rings, hash browns or even meaty additions like BBQ pulled pork and streaky bacon.

You’ll also have the chance to double up your patties and choose from house cooked fries, curly fries and sharer portions on a vast range of pre-formulated loaded fries options.

The YouTuber also sampled the side options and give his verdict on his video: “We started off with beautiful buttermilk, nice bit of chicken absolutely spot on…on then I moved onto the loaded fries…it’s a flavour combination that works really well to be honest”.

“A solid 10, can’t fault it”.
