Danny Malin is a British YouTube personality. He is the host of the YouTube series Rate My Takeaway, in which Malin visits and reviews takeaway food shops, mainly in Northern England, although some reviews have included London and various cities in Scotland and Ireland. As of October 2021,[update] Rate My Takeaway has over 462,000 subscribers and over 74 million views since it began in Jun 2020.[1]
In December 2021 Malin launched a charity single called `Santa's Takeaway` in a bid to get the Christmas number one single. Trussell Trust and MIND were the charities to benefit. [2]
Format
Malin begins each show with the greeting "Now then guys, how are you doin'? Back on the road again!" He then announces the city and takeaway shop he will be visiting, with his "cameraman" filming the journey. Upon arrival, Malin takes a folding table and folding chair from the boot of his car and proceeds to the shop. After engaging with the counter staff, he will order several courses then set up his table and chair outside the shop.[3] When the meal arrives, he will taste and comment on each course. Finally, when he rates the takeaway, he ends it with a comment in his characteristically strong accent, such as "If I'm honest wi' yer, it's a solid nine from me".[4]
Businesses have reported a surge in business following a review by Malin.[5][6]
As Malin's popularity has increased, his reviews are often interrupted by fans seeking a chat or a selfie.[7][8]
Personal life
Malin was born in Barnsley.[9] He now resides in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where he works at a butcher's shop in Kirkgate Market.[10] His longtime partner Carrie Taylor died suddenly of a heart attack in February 2021. He has six children and one grandchild.[11]
