The new Trinity Kitchen line up sees
the return of a few loved street vans and the introduction of some new faces to
Leeds. It never fails to amaze me how many street food vendors we have in the
UK now!
So what can you expect from the July-August rotation?
The American style van returns with
those famous truffle fries, loaded hotdogs, burgers and this time they’ve got a
few specials for us too. This time around I tried out the buttermilk fried
chicken burger.

In all honesty it wasn’t the best
buttermilk chicken I’ve ever had (please return…), the chap took a bite and
half of the chicken slipped out of the batter (and in to his mouth) leaving me
with just batter and a bun. I think I’ll stick to the hotdogs and fries as there
are no complaints from me about those!
Another van to return to Trinity
Kitchen. I remember their last visit fondly, even the pigeons enjoyed their
presence in Trinity as they lapped up the leftovers the revellers the night
before had left outside Tesco. That pineapple mayo was to die for.

Usually found decorating the
streets of Manchester, they have taken a trip to the right side of The Pennines
to bring us their rap-star offerings. Featured on their menu you’ll find the
Snoop burger, the Jay-Z amongst some great side offerings such as halloumi
fries and fries topped with frazzles and baconaise.

The meal deal here is £10 for a
main, side and drink. The chap and I debated over sides and in the end decided
to get both, sharing in Trinity Kitchen is a must if you’re to get the most out
of all the offerings! Our main consisted of the Jay-Z which is like a Reuben
sandwich except made with a bagel. The Frazzle fries were unreal and I’m quite
surprised that I didn’t have a heart attack afterwards.
Side note, the chaps own this place
are probably the nicest guys in Trinity at the moment and give excellent
recommendations (not just for their own food).
See my previous post here for their
delicious delights! I’ve visited them so much over the last few months, it’s
fair to say they are a favourite. They’re also still delicious if you have a
cold, in case you were wondering!
Lekker Eat Dutch primarily serve
waffles and Dutch pancakes (think really small pancakes), typical of what you
would find in Belgium and other Dutch countries. Big Grillie Style tipped me
off that they were also serving bubble waffles, something I’ve wanted to try
since I saw them a Manchester Food Blogger’s Instagram. My time had come.
The bubble waffles are £5 and come
with a choice of two toppings, two sauces and ice cream. I opted to have cream
filled wafers, fudge (the Cadbury’s chocolate bar), toffee sauce and chocolate
added on top of my ice cream and waffle. The waffle was steaming hot when it
came off the press and the ice cream melted through its container, a napkin is
advisable.
I got the chap a milkshake. When
enquiring about what shakes were available I was told “anything you like”, he
opted for a strawberry milkshake, made with fresh strawberries, milk and ice
cream. Served in a Heineken plastic cup.
The day I visited things seemed to
be a little all over the place, the chappy behind the counter was attempting to
stir pancake batter by hand in a large bucket at the back. Another bucket that
had batter dripped all down its sides was used to make my bubble waffle. The
poor chap behind the counter had no spatula or tongs to remove my bubble waffle
from the bubble waffle maker, resulting in him burning his fingers with some
consistency. When I asked what toppings he would recommend, he shrugged his
shoulders and said he didn’t know as he didn’t like sweet stuff and the other
guy was diabetic so he wouldn’t have been able to help either. The other guy,
that I presume he was referring to, was sat behind in the window balancing some
books. My order of a waffle and milkshake was too much for one person to take
on and a kid who really wanted some Dutch pancakes had his mum threatening that
they needed to leave soon without his pancakes. This tugged at my heart strings
and had she had made some obvious moves to leave I would have told the guy to
leave my order and get the kids. Thankfully, when things started to crash
around when the guy serving me had to wash the blender (with a hot water tap
and a swill), the other guy got up from his table and took their order. Hopefully
they’re more organised when it’s not a Friday night!
So much of a hit they couldn’t bear
them to leave, plus an additional space has been created for them outside of
the normal run.
Go once, if only for the novelty.
