During the broadcast, Akiki discussed his professional history and the culinary work he currently undertakes in Split, Croatia. His recognition stems from his inclusion in a Netflix documentary focusing on the preparation of burek.
Akiki was featured as part of the documentary series Somebody Feed Phil, which is directed by Phil Rosenthal and documents acclaimed dining experiences across various global locations. According to Akiki, the selection process by Netflix was rigorous. He explained that the production team conducted comprehensive surveys to identify highly popular and noteworthy local eateries within Split.
