She is still a professor teaching at Duke University, while moonlighting as the blogger behind <i>Fan Fun with Damian Lewis</i>, writing all about Damian Lewis and his brilliant work. <i>Billions </i>is a dream come true for Bahar because, not only does it have her favorite actor, but also because it is filmed in New York City--her favorite city on earth--and finally, it deals with game theory, which she teaches for a living. On top of this, she and her husband are a proud foodie couple--thus, she decided to turn this love of the New York City food scene and the acclaimed tv show into this <i>Billions </i>dining guide. She splits her time between Durham, North Carolina, and New York City, with her husband, who is her greatest supporter.<br>
