Miss India spices up as chef

Donning a toque instead of a crown and wearing an off-shoulder, wrap-bodice flared gown, Femina Miss India World Priyadarshini Chatterjee presented an enchanting figure during the inauguration of Barbeque Nation Food at ANR Centre in Banjara Hills on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old beauty tried her hand at barbecuing on the live the table grills after the inauguration. The slim-figured diva is a big-time foodie and turns out quite a regular at Barbeque Nation.

“I’m a food lover and I eat all kinds of food,” said the beauty pageant winner. “I used to go to Barbeque Nation restaurants with my friends in Guwahati and Bengaluru. I’m very glad to be at the launch here,” said Priyadarshini, who is currently preparing for the ‘Miss World’ pageant.

“I think I will do well (there),” said the hopeful model. The new restaurant boasts of an exclusive appearance and a customised dining experience. It features the signature live counters at the centre of its premises, where chefs grill and serve according to the preferences of food aficionados.

The outlet also sports a brand new white-orange logo, with a crown atop the brand name. The new menu serves an array of interesting lip smacking dishes such as, rabbit, quail and duck.

“At this outlet we introduced new concept of ‘Live Counters’ to cater the needs of our guests. We are also planning to open our first international Barbeque Nation food in Dubai within 15 days,” Sameer Bhasin, CEO, Barbeque Nation Hospitality Ltd, said.

Ritam Mukherjee Regional Manager Operations – South, Barbeque Nation Hospitality Ltd., said “The new outlet is looks exciting and a whole new menu. I think customers are going to be pleasantly surprised by the changes.”
