DB Summer Series 3 at Boot and Rally.

Let’s talk about the db “McRib Burger.” The McRib burger has been a staple and a favourite throughout our pop up series during summer. The process of making this burger is slow braising the pork ribs for 6hours with a stock of Asian aromatics and chef Nicko’s favourite condiment soy sauce; once cooked the bones are carefully removed and it is then pressed over night. To finish It we grill it over charcoal and generously glaze with our house gochujang sauce. It is then placed on a toasted brioche bun with kewpie Mayo and pickles.

Get yourself down to try this burger for one last time !!!

Here are a few shots from our Kamayan feast night with

For those who don’t know a Kamayan feast also known as a boodle fight is a Filipino tradition where the table is covered with banana leaf and all types of meats and seafood are pilled up with rice and noodles and enjoyed in a communal way where everyone uses their hands to eat.

This was a crazy experience for us to prepare and set up as we had never hosted an event like this before. It was a rush to set the tables in time, trying to keep the food warm as possible, but we managed to pull it off and the tables looked so beautiful from all the different colours spread across it.

We would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who came down and supported and the feedback we received was amazing so thank you very much!

Keep an eye out for nights like these follow & for more Filipino inspired menus popping up around Leeds!

A couple weeks back we had the massive of honour of having with us in the kitchen.

Diego is a friend and DJ of the bar and was born in Columbia. One late night we got chatting and could instantly tell how passionate Diego was about food especially his native Colombian cuisine. One thing led to another and we agreed to get him in the kitchen for one of our taco and tequila nights

It was amazing watching Diego in the kitchen. He showed us so many things we didn’t know about real South American cooking from ingredients all the way to simple techniques. I think everyone who ate can vouch his duck carnitas were amazing and I also couldn’t stop eating his pineapple salsa (I need to steal that recipe still)

Anyway it was a massive honour having you Diego thanks for sharing your skills and we definitely would like to have you back!

Finally in celebration of Cinco de Mayo on May 5th we’re running a full South American inspired menu all this bank holiday weekend so if you missed out on last times tacos make sure you swing by this week to get your fix!

Bookings now open for our first Sunday Roast on Sunday 7th May !!

We will be serving from 12-6pm and will be offering a selection of meats to choose from aswell as vegan and gluten free options.

Send us a dm with what time you would like to eat and we’ll get back to you asap, see you soon!
