Lou Ekus of Montague Center has helped a number of chefs prepare for
having a television show. For more than 25 years, Ekus and his wife,
Leslie, have run AirTyme, which helps chefs become more media savvy.
The other front-page story is "About Town Auto Pulse."

About 10 years ago, Lou Ekus was sitting in the parking lot of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., when he heard a woman's voice on the radio talking about food.
He immediately called the Food Network's senior vice president of programming Bob Tuschman. 'I said, 'I don't know who this woman is, but I just heard her do the best interview about food I think I've ever heard,' Ekus said, remembering the day recently.
He had worked with Tuschman previously, helping chefs prepare to have their own television shows and was at the culinary school helping some professors prepare for television appearances.
About a year later, Ekus was back at the Culinary Institute of America in the parking lot when the phone rang. It was Tuschman asking for help prepping the woman Ekus had called about for her own television show.
That woman was Rachel Ray.
