Grilled: 2007 StarChefs Rising Stars Revue

Akhtar Nawab, The E.U.

What do you think about your publicist? Isn’t their job tough?
I have a lot of respect for our publicist [note: standing next to him]. I think they have a very difficult job because they have to go out and get stories that are interesting. They also have to know their clients really well, because some stories work better with different clients. We work with Becca PR; they are great.

How do you stay in shape?
Am I in shape? I go jogging as often as possible and try for two miles a day. I taste all my food, but am very cautious about what I eat.

Any secrets?
Moderation and balance. Though I eat all day, every day.
