A food truck in Ipswich had a sell-out weekend following a visit from a social media star.
Food Review Club has more than two million followers on social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram.
The food reviewer recently visited Jus Winging It which is based at The Lattice Barn in Ipswich and raved about its "simply elite" buffalo wings.

But the thumbs up from the Food Review Club is the latest accolade for the business owner.
"I was sweating buckets of nerves," said the former DJ.
"I have followed his account since the beginning of lockdown before I opened the business and I met him at Wingfest in Derby earlier this year where he tried a wing and decided he had to come to Ipswich to try more.
"He was amazing and to have one of our wings rated as elite really shows we are doing something right."

READ MOREThe video, which has more than 12,000 views on YouTube, has given the chicken wing food truck a boost before it heads off to Wingfest in London from Friday, July 26 until Sunday, July 28.
Mr Pybus said: "The weekend after the video went up I made our standard batch of buffalo sauce to last the weekend and we ran out of that on the Friday night.
"I made double the amount on Saturday and we sold out of that too. Overall I think I made five times the amount of buffalo sauce I would normally make.
"Singlehandedly the best thing I have ever done was opening in Ipswich."
Future plans for Jus Winging It includes extending opening hours to offer Wing Wednesday and Sell-Out Sunday as well as family bundles on chicken wing buckets.
