I try the independent burger takeaway in Hull's busy Princes Avenue
With most kitchens closed, we were unsure where to go, but the tantalising smell coming from Cheezy tempted us off the street. Now, there are many takeaways in Hull that offer burgers and fries, but how many have a mascot resembling Donald Duck?
It was certainly the first thing that caught my attention when I walked through the door. Decor-wise, Cheezy is set out like an American diner, with booths and padded seating in cheerfully clashing bright blue and yellow.

I liked how the kitchen was in plain view of the seating area, which always shows confidence in hygiene. The queue for food was a promising sign of quality, so we browsed the menu and placed our order at the counter.
Within seven minutes, our food was ready. We got three burgers and four portions of fries, with the curly fries being particularly impressive in portion size.
The dusting of chip spice was just right and not too salty, and the oil the fries were cooked in tasted really fresh. Having never had deep-fried curly fries before (I just whack them in the oven) it was a proper treat and upgraded them to another level of crispiness, kind of like an onion bhaji in texture.
All the burgers are priced under £10, with the cheapest under £6. My friends opted for the shroom burger - double patty, melted mozzarella, topped with creamy mushroom sauce and crispy onions.
They really enjoyed the quality of the burger, especially the patty (described by one as "very meaty with a chunky texture") and seeded brioche bun, but thought the mushroom flavour could have been more intense.
The other burger was the Cheezy Chicken Burger and again they said the quality was self-evident. The chicken was nicely fried and they liked the delicious combination of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and the house sauce.
A minor gripe was that the cheese could have tasted cheesier. Overall, the service was top-notch and I would recommend Cheezy for a quick bite.

Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to father Ozzy, 'the best friend I ever had'
Ozzy's ex-daughter-in-law also posted a heartfelt tribute to the late rocker, who was a beloved grandfather. Kelly Osbourne broke her silence on her father Ozzy's death on Thursday, sharing poignant lyrics from a song the two recorded together before he died at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease. 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔,' Kelly wrote in a post to Instagram. These are lyrics from the Black Sabbath song 'Changes,' released in 1972 but recorded by Kelly and Ozzy as a duet in 2003, with revised lyrics that showed their strong father-daughter bond. Earlier this month, Osbourne performed what was dubbed his 'final bow' from a throne at Villa Park in the U.K. After the show, Kelly became engaged to her longtime partner, musician Sid Wilson of the band Slipknot, after he got down on one knee backstage. Kelly shared a video of the engagement on Instagram, during which you can hear Ozzy say to Wilson: 'F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter!' which was met with laughs. Wilson and Kelly welcomed a son named Sidney in 2022. More of Osbourne's loved ones have started to post personal tributes to the heavy metal icon, who lived with Parkinson's disease until he died on July 22. Lisa Stelly, who was married to Osbourne's son Jack from 2012 to 2019, posted an emotional tribute to her ex-father-in-law on Instagram, honoring him as a loving grandfather. Jack, 39, and Stelly, 38, had three daughters while they were married: Pearl, 13; Andy, 10; and Minnie, 7. 'The world got Ozzy. We got Papa,' Stelly wrote in the caption. 'One of one. Larger than life. It hurts to say goodbye, but what a gift it was to have him. We will never stop missing you.' The post gives a softer look at the 'Prince of Darkness,' who is smiling as he holds one of his young grandchildren. The post also includes a video of him playfully dodging kisses from one of his grandchildren as she giggled. Other images showed the Black Sabbath frontman puckering up for a kiss, cuddling two kiddos at once on a couch and sitting at an outdoor table with Stelly. After Osbourne died, the Osbourne family released the following joint statement signed by wife Sharon and their children Kelly, Jack, Aimee, as well as his son Louis from his prior marriage to Thelma Riley: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.' Solve the daily Crossword

Charli XCX's Post-Wedding Style Is Less Bridal, More Glastonbury
Following her City Hall wedding last weekend, Charli XCX is already back to work. While the singer has a bigger bash scheduled, don't expect her to exhaust bridal whites. Just days after her wedding, Charli traded her Vivienne Westwood minidress for an outfit that could have just as well belonged at Glastonbury. And, in many ways, she took some cues from last month's headlining performance look. For her Day Four set, Charli hit the stage in three multicolored Alexander McQueen skull scarves, rejiggered to make a crop top, which she paired with black leather microshorts, a pair of maroon knee-high boots, and wraparound shades. Joseph Okpako Click News and Media / BACKGRIDUSA Earlier this week, Charli followed a similar outfit formula. She eschewed the scarf top for a black one-shoulder top and draped herself in an ecru pashmina, but stayed loyal to the microshorts in a gray-brown pair with similarly miniature pockets. She also hung onto her knee-high boots, donning a pair of black motos, and wore her large black shades. A noted fan of Anthony Vaccarello, she carried a quilted black Saint Laurent bag. While her style may be leaning more Glasto, Charli XCX still has time to make bridal style bratty before her trip down the aisle.
