TikToker travels to Teesside from US to try out a parmo

A TikTok food reviewer who travelled from Nashville, Tennessee, to rate the UK's food has given a Teesside delicacy 10/10.

Kalani Smith travelled the length of the UK, sampling different food as the "stigma at home is that all UK food is garbage,” he said.

Wanting to test the negative theory and after many requests on his videos, he travelled to try the famous Teesside parmesan.

He said: “I didn’t realise how big it was, I gave the hotshot a 10. I was very pleasantly surprised.”
