The page has over 133,000 likes and is fast growing thanks to plenty of viral posts about the number of chips people have received at different pubs around the UK.
It didn't take long for Leeds to catch on to this humorous past time and hungry diners across the city have been uploading their chip count, with varying results.

This weekend in Leeds, around 25 chips were found, but chip counters fund between 18 and 33 on their plates.
Both the lowest and highest were found at The Cuthbert Brodrick.
Stacy Benson, a Wetherspoons chip counter shared her dismal result that came alongside their ham from the pub:
"Cuthbert Broderick Leeds city centre Wetherspoons boys and girls. I can't really say 18 chips because some where like little toe nails. So I reckon maybe around 10 chips. And some nice fart ham to match".
People have been taking the trend very seriously and some even measure their chips to find the longest chip at Wetherspoons.
Visitors to The Golden Beam Wetherspoons took to the chip count page to share 29 chips, one of which measured a very precise 142mm.

Over 3,700 Wetherspoon chip-eaters have posted on the Wetherspoons Paltry Chip Count Facebook page in the last month, with followers increasing by over 10,000 a week.
The page was set up in August 2020 but has been going viral recently with hundreds of people uploading their chips each day to be rated by the public.
Visitors to Leeds Train Station Wetherspoons even recorded a live chip count so that viewers could see that there was no tampering or snacking during the count.
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

Stuffed with toppings such as smoked deli meats, cold cuts, fresh cheese and whatever else you fancy.
Oh and it doesn't stop there, you can also buy a cigar if you fancy it alongside a selection of merch, hot sauces and provisions like tinned fish.
So whether you're stopping by on your way to work for a morning coffee or treating yourself to a stellar sandwich for your lunch, Alfonso's Deli is here to whisk you away to Miami for the afternoon.

Make sure to pop down and give them a big warm welcome to the neighbourhood.
‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
