What event will we find you at this week? San Francisco Beer Week!

What's your most embarrassing SF moment? Taping a dating TV show and having to do the first-look meeting at the cable car turnabout in Union Square – I don’t like having too much attention on me but when you have a TV crew following you it’s hard to stay on the DL.

Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? Well, honestly it’d probably be In-n-Out Burger, if it was a meteor strike to end the world. But if it was some sorta scenario where I could control the situation, I'd choose my Mom’s awesome cooking and I'd just be with my family. Otherwise, sushi orgy!

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Frank Chu – perhaps one day I can carry on in his footsteps, but hopefully not…

What would you change about San Francisco? Make it affordable for more people – and keep the arts in the schools.

What's the question you wish we asked? Um, what’s the “X’ stand for?
