Matin Khan is getting arrested all for a fantastic cause!

The local eateries with go up against the best Asian restaurants and takeaways from around Scotland after more than 10,000 people voted online for their favourite venues, with 70 businesses making the shortlist.

Hosted by BBC News anchor Samantha Simmonds, the gala dinner and awards ceremony will take place at The Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh on September 18.

The awards, being held for the seventh time, are organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF).

ACF chairman Yawar Khan said: “We are seeing some remarkable creativity by pioneering restaurateurs and chefs, adapting to challenging trading conditions and more sophisticated customer preferences, showcasing Scotland’s world-leading produce, especially its seafood, game, neeps and tatties.”

I don’t know if you have heard but I have got myself into a bit of trouble and will have to answer for my crimes on Wednesday 7th December when I will be arrested by Lothian and Borders Police and taken to a secret location in Edinburgh.

I know you may ask yourself “shouldn’t we just leave him there” but I think I have a lot more to give to society.

Make-A-Wish have told me that if I raise over £2000 they will release me on bail at 4.30pm that day.

All the bail money / donations are of course going to a wonderful charity, Make-A-Wish who grant truly magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses in Scotland.

For anyone who donates online I will put their name in a Prize draw to win a meal for two at ITIHAAS Restaurant. Dalkeith

Please dig deep and help me raise enough bail money to buy my freedom. Please visit www.justgiving.com/Matin-Khan – thank you and please pass this link on to friends and family!
