Can't beat a bit of meat - Reds True BBQ, Leeds

Reds True BBQ popped up in Leeds at the beginning of 2012 providing a giant slab of meat on the doorstep of Call Lane, right in the city centre.

A haven for meat lovers, their slogan "low and slow" gives an idea of just how you're getting your meat. Having started working in Leeds again this spring, I was drawn to Red's after Channel 4's Sunday Brunch Chef Simon Rimmer said he was heading their for a meeting and asked for recommendations on Twitter.

Ariba! Ariba! Mexican street food... in the centre of Leeds

Three months off... tres naughty!

However lots of coming posts full of delicious treats and feasts for the eyes, from restaurants, to bars to festivals with plenty of recommendations in various different cities.

Having shuffled back over to the epicentre of West Yorkshire to a new job in Leeds, I arrived at the same time as the new Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre (how convenient).

I'm swiftly working my way round all the brand new eateries and cocktail caves but after a lovely few weeks of actual Summer sunshine headed to Cielo Blanco, a Mexican restaurant on the top floor of the centre.

Mrs Atha's - lots of Leeds love for my new local

As many may know I'm partial to a spot of tea or coffee and cake every now and again... ok more than now and again.

Having recently joined a super cool (I realise this sounds cheesy) company in Leeds four weeks ago, my commute has changed from Sheffield to my old stomping ground in Leeds.

I'm not 100% how I came across Mrs Atha's but I'm certainly glad I did. The decor is semi industrial with my favourite interior elements of a brick wall or three, high ceilings and metal beams.
