Riaz Ahamed, the film star-turned powerhouse TV actor, is now venturing into new grounds — as an entrepreneur. His restaurant, Food24\/7, opened in the capital’s Bashundhara Residential Area yesterday. The restaurant will be open round the clock, and has world-renowned chef Tony Khan in charge of food engineering.<\/p>\n
\u201cArtistes require a peace of mind in terms of finances, and it’s especially true for Bangladesh,\u201d Riaz told The Daily Star when asked his motivation for starting a business venture. \u201cI’ve realised that in order to work selectively, a secondary earning support is necessary. If I could open a Cineplex, that would be a dream come true, but with the resources I have at hand, that is difficult at the moment, so I decided to enter the culinary world.\u201d<\/p>\n
About the restaurant, he said \u201cWe don’t really have restaurants open 24 hours in our country. This is what makes Food24\/7 unique. Our kitchen will be online and will cater to foodies at all times in the day. This is just a pilot project; if it is successful, I plan to make it a chain restaurant, and open branches in other parts of the capital.\u201d
