Harrogate's Thug Sandwich rated 'number one takeaway' by YouTuber with 470,000 followers
A YouTuber with 472,000 subscribers has described Harrogate's Thug Sandwich as "the biggest 10 I've given so far, just outstanding".
Danny Malin, the man behind Rate My Takeaway, visited Harrogate on Wednesday.
Mr Malin has reviewed over 200 takeaways and isn't afraid of giving an honest opinion but he raved about Thug, rating it the "number one takeaway". He said:
Thug Sandwich, on Albert Street, is a popular lunch spot in Harrogate. After calls from his followers to visit, Mr Malin decided to find out what the fuss was about.
He ordered an onion bhaji scotch egg, a pig in duvet, lamb belly fingers and the Reuben and KFCaesar sandwiches.

Describing Albert Street as having a "New York feel", he said the small, independent takeaway was leaps ahead of its big brand neighbours, including Yo! Sushi and Pizza Express.
In just 16 hours the video has had over 67,000 views and in usual Danny Malin style the majority of it is shot with him sitting outside the takeaway at a folding table and chairs.
After finishing his £23 haul, he said:
