I tried Leeds dessert shop Dukes' new food offering - the smashed toastie is my sandwich of the week
In his weekly column for the Yorkshire Evening Post, Danny Mei Lan Malin, the star of YouTube's Rate My Takeaway, reveals where you can pick up his new favourite sandwich in Leeds.
As the winter weather looms, I can’t lie: I’ve been making the most of roast dinners as many nights as possible.
We save a lot of money on gas and electricity using the airfryer and a microwave oven. A bit of roast pork loin or beef can be carved off for a sandwich the next day too.
My wife is the cook of the house and I love home cooked food, but sometimes you can’t beat a Costco shepherd's pie, pizza or a platter of sandwiches.
One of my favourite sandwiches of the week was a smashed toastie from Dukes. Better still, for dessert I had a chocolate brownie with custard.
The custard was served in a cup of custard with some extra pieces of brownie - and for once, it was the right ratio for me. When it comes to savoury food and sandwiches, I’d happily have a cup of gravy to dip my grub into.
Another surprising treat this week was the food and drink at Flamingo Land. Normally, eating at a theme park is dire, but we had a banging Chinese takeaway, fish and chips and some delicious desserts from the diner.
We’ve also started a Leeds food and drink guide on LDC Radio which will be launching soon in conjunction with my Back on the Road Again Show.
