I am really happy with the reaction Fast Food 1&2 got and I have really enjoyed writing restaurant reviews recently. So, I thought why not combine the two for fast food episode three.
You may or may not have heard of Leon before. If you have, great, but if you haven't, even better, this blog is for you. Leon describes itself as the future of fast food, a healthier and fresher alternative to your usual fast food restaurant. It has 4.6 stars on Deliveroo and compared to McDonald's 37,855 locations Leon is tiny with 65+ restaurants. Six months after opening Leon won The Observer's best new restaurant award.
Leon's GFC is one of my favourite meals there. GFC stands for gluten free chicken and is made of 100% British chicken thigh. Now I am going to compare the nutrition facts with some from KFC.
1 portion of GFC contains 371 calories while 1 portion of a KFC bargain bucket, 6 piece contains 610 calories which would take 70 minutes of jogging to burn off.
Leon isn't just healthy food, it's also tasty food. The GFC nuggets are crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. The baked fries are healthier than regular chips and come in cross-hatch pattern and sprinkled with spice. Their brownies are moist, chewy and as chocolatey as can be. And their fizzy apple drink is just so refreshing!
