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.

A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
Beloved late night Leeds cocktail bar The Maven announces permanent closure
Clementine Hall
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
