The YouTube sensation, star of the Rate My Takeaway series, has recently released a love song to his favourite meal – a Sunday Roast with Yorkshire Puddings. The charity single Santa’s from Up North is now available for download.
To celebrate the single, Danny has shared his favourite festive menus across Leeds with the Yorkshire Evening Post.
He said: “It's that time of the year when we're talking about Christmas dinners and where is the best place to go.
"Me being out doing takeaways, I stumble across some nice little cafes that do Turkey sarnies and things like that. But also, I like to go out to some restaurants.
"Make sure you’ve got a Yorkshire pudding, because Santa’s from up North.”
Here are his recommendations, from a traditional Sunday roast to festive Thai food.
