Imagine, then, my delight at discovering Katie Bolton's Leeds Grub blog. She seems to have Leeds and surrounding districts covered - even extending to Northern Ireland in one excursion. It is written simply and directly from the perspective of a mortgage-paying-employment-insecure Yorkshire customer rather than a critic on expenses. And the pictures. Katie photographs the dishes as well as the interiors (and exteriors) of the eateries. Some of her pics are mouth watering. Others less so.
