Why? Because it's all in celebration of the restaurant opening on Tuesdays for the first time since launching, and that restaurant is the absolutely brilliant Bavette.
If you've not heard of Bavette then please allow us to fill you in.
Bavette is a gorgeous neighbourhood bistro that opened its doors over in Horsforth back in February last year.

Owners Sandy and Clément are the ultimate hospitality husband duo, and since opening Bavette has taken the culinary world by storm scooping up every award possible.
From securing a spot on the Michelin Guide to being awarded the best local restaurant in the UK by The Good Food Guide, Bavette has gone from strength to strength and has truly made a name for itself for being a real local gem.

Whether you're popping in for a slap-up steak dinner or gathering with family for a Sunday roast that will knock your socks off, Bavette will never disappoint.
And if you work in the industry, then we've got some good news for you as every Tuesday you can get 50% off all drinks at Bavette throughout September. What a winner.

Announcing the news to Instagram, Bavette said: "To celebrate opening on Tuesdays from September, and to give a little back to all you amazing people in our industry we’re offering 50% off drinks on Tuesdays in September to anyone who works in hospitality. Just pop a note in your booking, letting us know where you work. Hopefully see you soon."
The drink offering is just as great as the food, with a selection of wines from Clément's family vineyard in France as well as a well thought out aperitif and cocktail list, there's a tipple for everyone to enjoy.
So, tell your hospitality pals and get a table booked so you can make the most out of this fantastic offer.
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.
