Birthday Burgers

Yesterday I turned 29. I know right!?!! 
I actually spent the day at home, in shorts and a tank top watching Greys Anatomy and munching on  freezer pops. It was perfect. 
In the evening my parents took me to Reds True BBQ for a meal.

I ordered a homemade lemonade.

I'd had it before and it was delicious so on this HOT day I knew I needed it. 

And it was a treat for sure.

My dad ordered a coke float... not my fave but it looked delicious.

Delicious malt milkshake. Yuuuuuuummmmmm!

My dad got a Pit burger which is gigantic!

I had a Dirty Buffalo Chicken S'wich.

Its a southern fried chicken fillet, topped with bacon, pulled bbq chicken and cheese, all topped with coleslaw. In a pretzel bun. I got sweet potato fries as a side. It was all delicious.

After that scrumptious meal we went to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream, I had a creme brûlée double scoop. It was beyond amazing. Although because it was really hot it melted really fast and was more like a milkshake than ice cream.

The lady in the store must have been loving it cos it was really nippy inside. Lucky her!

It was a great meal and I'm thankful that I had a delicious ice cream to end the night off.

Dancing Queens & a King

A few weekends ago I met up with Rachel and Brett for a few drinks and all the meat!

I started my day with a spot of tea and cake in Meadowhall. 

Then it was onto getting ready, listening to some music on my tv.

I did my face at the train station, not bad eh!

This is what I wore:

Shirt - Yours Clothing
Leggings - Very
Pumps - Asda

I met these two on Ecclesall road in Sheffield. We made our way to a place called Craft and Dough.

I started with a cosmopolitain and finished with a Jamesons whiskey sour.

Then we went to Reds True BBQ and I had a fresh homemade lemonade.
It was crisp and delicious!



I won't lie, I hadn't been all too impressed with Reds as of recent so when I heard they were opening one in Sheffield I wasn't ecstatic to go. But my mind was swiftly changed.

I don't normally order burgers out because I am so exceptionally picky but I opted for a chicken burger/sandwich.
Its called The Dirty Buffalo Chicken.

It was probably one of the most amazing chicken burgers yet! The bun was really good too! Even the slaw was really nice and I ate the whole burger with everything on it!

After that we went to Wick at Both Ends where I had a Hendricks G&T.

We then ventured to Rev De Cuba where I had a Portobello Gin G&T with peppercorn and grapefruit.

We ended the night on West Street Live where we danced to drank some more.  It was, as always a joy to see them both! 
Till next time :)

Reds True BBQ Leeds

I previously did a post on this BBQ joint back in 2012, seen here

I have since been back to the Leeds Red's a few times, this is probably my 7th time back here in the last 2 years. (addicted maybe)

The menu has changed a bit over the past few months, it's still great quality, with a few yummy bits added on.

Here's a link to some pictures of their succulent delights.

If you don't believe me, believe the pictures!

The sauce's presentation has changed too, but the flavour was still there!

I chose a house-made Sweet Ice Tea made with real Yorkshire Tea!

SO SOUR! 

And I also had a Chocolate Milkshake later on.

Bucket of Bones ... fitting for the meat-arian I am! 

This was 3 different kind of ribs, between the 3 of us we still bought a doggy bag home from this bucket.

My mains, I had the Texas Combo which is Texas bbq Pulled Pork and Texas Brisket. 

With slaw and pickles, skin on fries, an onion ring and pit beans.

The pit beans still have to be my favourite, what's honestly better than 2 kinds of beans, pulled pork, bbq sauce and burnt ends? NOTHING!

You can read their blog here. Or follow their Twitter & Instagram, or follow the hashtag #therewillbemeat.

** I have not been paid to review this food joint, nor have I received free food from them, I just LOVE this place!**
