New burger house using ‘world’s hottest chilli’ opens in Leeds
Boasting a heat of up to 2.4 million Scoville Heat Units, the Carolina reaper pepper is just as ferocious as it is tasty - and it's already causing quite the stir at this new burger joint
A new burger house serving burgers made with the 'world's hottest chilli' has opened in Leeds and some people are very excited about it.
From a 24k gold burger and a ten patty high challenge burger to its might Carolina reaper burgers, YOH Burgers has some insane-looking specials.
For those who want to go all-in on the chilli hype, there are two options: chicken and beef, both billed as using the 'world's hottest chilli'.

Encased within a purply pink beetroot bun, tuck into 6oz of fresh YOH Black Angus Beef or a peri chicken fillet layered with cheese, nachos, lettuce, onions and YOH's legendary Reaper sauce.
That said, if you're not a big fan of heat there's still loads on the menu for you here.
Other impressive-looking burger options (and there are a lot) include a 24K gold-topped black wagyu beef burger and a 10x challenge burger - comprised of ten 3 oz patties, cheese, lettuce, and YOH's house burger sauce.

Alternatively, you can opt to build your own burger - choosing from up to four different styles of bun (glazed or seeded brioche, black charcoal and red beetroot), four proteins, and a seemingly unlimited number of sauces and extras.
The menu is so huge, in fact, you can also build your own pizzas, nachos, wraps, rice, salad, fries and noodle boxes - we genuinely defy anyone to say they can't find something to eat here.
Using super-premium cuts of beef and top-grade chicken, this is the fifth site for YOH burgers which already has an established presence in Manchester, Sheffield, Rotherham and Wakefield.

New regulations are set to be put into place as part of the Briggate Action Plan.
Proposals for the plan, aimed at making some of the city centre’s busiest areas safer for everyone, received a huge amount of support during a public consultation last year.
Since then, the council have been drawing up the necessary regulations and signage, with the new rules now due to officially come into place over the next few months.
Once implemented, the action plan will mean a requirement to walk bicycles and e-bikes within the city centre’s pedestrianised shopping area from 10.30am until 8pm every day.
That means no surprise bicycles will try and run you over as you're doing your shopping, hooray!
The action plan will also introduce prohibitions around certain street trading activities in targeted areas, including mobile street traders.
Extended restrictions will be put into place during major city centre events including Leeds Pride, Light Night Leeds and the Leeds Christmas Market.
Anyone breaking the new rules could be given a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice.
A spokesperson for Leeds City Council, said: “The city centre welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, and our aim is for every one of them to have the best and safest possible experience of Leeds.
“Through this action plan, we’ve taken important and meaningful steps to address issues which the public have consistently told us were impacting their enjoyment of the city centre whilst also creating potential safety issues for shoppers and pedestrians.
“With these new regulations in place, our hope is that both day-to-day visits and major events will now be even more enjoyable, successful and welcoming.”
The new restrictions on pedlars are expected to be in place from Thursday 1 October, with restrictions on bikes in pedestrianised areas due to be in place by the end of the year.
Huge new two-storey late-night venue with beer hall and games is coming to Leeds city centre
Clementine Hall
A new late-night venue is set to open in Leeds city centre.
And luckily for us, we don't have long to wait.
Introducing Klubhaus, a new venue by The Bierkeller brand that will open its doors on Friday 30 October on Merrion Street in Leeds city centre.
Combining a whole host of things, Klubhaus will feature drinks, games, and its very own beer hall on the top floor.
'The Bier Hall' will offer your classic Bierkeller-style benches alongside a huge stage and vast dance floor, perfect for events and live DJs.
Elsewhere in the two-storey venue, there will be two bars and plenty of games including dart boards, pool tables, and Bierkeller's popular ‘Spin the Wheel’ game where customers are given the chance to spin a large wheel behind each bar to unlock discounts and offers.
Dave Howarth, Brand Manager of The Bierkeller said: “Klubhaus is an exciting Bierkeller concept, and Leeds is the perfect city for a more drinks-led, late-night version of the brand.
“With two floors, two bars and The Bier Hall, we've built a venue on Merrion Street designed for the perfect night out.”
Considering the location, we've got a feeling this will do very well for those who prefer to party at the top of town on Merrion Street.
And with the prospect of bagging yourself a free drink from the mysterious wheel...who could resist?
You can have a look at what to expect via the Klubhaus by Bierkeller website here.
