The ultimate food card gives one person unlimited free food for an entire year.
If you're looking for a hearty lunch whilst out shopping in Trinity, there really is only one place to head for a crowd-pleaser lunch that even the fussiest of eaters love.
Trinity Kitchen is famed for its unique food traders, including the ever-changing residencies inside the likes of VW camper vans and horse boxes, each converted for a kitchen-use.

One of the staple foodies at Trinity is Rola Wala, who specialise in fresh and healthy Indian-inspired meals. Open since 2014, the restaurant has gained fans like pop star Rita Ora and BBC chef, Rachel Khoo over the years- and now the eatery are giving you the chance to have a celebrity-status when dining in Trinity Kitchen.
Essentially, a black card is a sign of being a 'top fan' of a food or drinks vendor that gives you unlimited free food.
Nandos 'High Five' black card, as seen from the likes of Stormzy and Ed Sheeran started the trend and the concept has since become a national phenomenon.
Rola Wala is becoming the latest restaurant to join the rather exclusive club of black card holders in Leeds and they're giving customers a chance to win one for themselves whilst they dine in-store or at home.

Throughout March, every customer order will be entered into a prize draw: it's as simple as that.
Rola Wala has partnered with Deliveroo to offer the winner unlimited free food for an entire year, plus the chance to be one of the first to try out their new Indian street food menu.
The new launches include delicious flavours like Super-Hot Scorpion chutney, plant-powered 'Thali Triple' bowl, wholemeal naan and a full range of new salads and drinks too.
Of course, all their regulars will be on the menu. Think naan bread rolls packed with chicken tikka, sweet potato saag, meatball rogan josh or even paneer with cookies, Kombucha and poppadums aplenty- and mostly all under 500 calories.
Britain's 20 biggest cities have been ranked, and Leeds has done pretty well.
Although, you wouldn't be able to tell judging by the overwhelmingly lacklustre description we've been given.
The listing comes from The Telegraph and ranks Britain's 20 biggest cities from worst to best, taking into account visitor appeal and where offers most to tourists.
Leeds comes in at a very respectable number 10, however judging from what they've said about our city you'd think we were much, much lower.
Kicking things off, the description reads: "There’s an untidy quality to Leeds, borne of a patchwork of periods in its built environment and the fact that a lot of regeneration is underway (cranes rise at every corner)."

Yep, not off to a good start but it's only down hill from there as Leeds is then said to have a 'certain shapelessness'.
But perhaps the worst part is yet to come: "There are some ugly, run-down streets very close to the centre, and while the Headrow and other high streets have a fair number of shops, there’s no real boulevard or grand square.
"The most atmospheric spaces are Queens Arcade and perpendicular Cross Arcade, and Thornton’s Arcade; Grand Arcade is also Victorian but looks and feels less uplifting."
By the end it starts to get slightly more positive, emphases on 'slightly': "Leeds’ strongest points might be its small size and its north-central location; it’s easy to walk everywhere inside the city, and a short ride away are Ilkley, Skipton and the Dales."
Our visitor appeal gained a 6.5/10, beating Cardiff, Sheffield, Brighton and Nottingham.
Taking the top spot was Liverpool followed by Edinburgh, Belfast and Glasgow. Read the full ranking here.

Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Domo said: "So most of you guessed it right...it’s been a long time coming but Domo 2.0 is finally cooking.
"Here’s a little sneak peek at our week which we’ve mostly spent admiring the views and getting to know the new neighbours …. If you can guess where it is there’s a glass of bubbly on us next time we see you. To be continued ………"
That's all the information we have so far, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we find out more.
