As part of our continuing effort to create entertaining content, we have decided to implement a series of interviews with people who are more famous than we are. A lot people qualify under that definition- celebrities, other bloggers, that guy who works at M&O deli on Prince Street, etc. Still, we thought we should warm up by interviewing each other. Here is my interview with Jen Chung:

1. How is it possible that you are a Chinese Catholic, and yet you live the life of a Brooklyn Jew?

1982 – I am introduced to the bagel, from Hot Bagels in Fair Lawn, NJ (still, to this day, the best place to get a bagel in the Garden State)
1989 – My parents subscribe to The New York Times
1990 – Seinfeld debuts (and I watch it)
1994 – I become friends with Molly Dobkin and meet her twin, Jake, and parents Steve and Bobbie

2. Last year you saw 60 movies. What was the worst one?

The Hours - wait, I saw that this year. XXX…but I knew that was going to suck – I’m sorry I made you and your sister see that with me. How about Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones?

3. Which celebrity will be the first one to get a restraining order against you?

Todd Barry, definitely

4. Living on the upper west side is pretty pathetic. How do you explain that?

Only if you think good feng shui and competitive condo taxes are pathetic; same for river views, two parks, Fairway, Citarella, Lincoln Center, and even more distance from Williamsburg.

5. Your first boss died from a cocaine induced heart attack while having sex with one of your co-workers at a New York hotel. Do you think he could have survived a night with Jennifer Chung?

That’s a tough one to call. See, I’m just not into predatory, Svengali-like, megalomaniacal, short, married men. Not yet, at least.

6. Why do my parents like you more than they like me, their own flesh and blood?

I think they always wanted a Chinese baby, to fit in with the other Brooklyn parents who adopted Chinese babies. Either that or they always wanted a sister for Molly. Don’t worry – it’s not the first time my friends’ parents have liked me more than their own children. They are charmed by my mix of Asian respect for elders and ambitious plans.

7. Do you think a straight man can drink a Cosmopolitan without irony or social anxiety?

Sure, as long as he’s about to come out.

8. I heard AKA Cafe is releasing a new entree: lobster stuffed with tacos. What should they name it?

Langosta rellena con taco

9. My friend Ezra wants to know why the ladies like the bad boys- can you tell him?

Isn’t it a variant on that old Groucho Marx line – “I don't want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member.” In other words, why date someone appropriate for you – make yourself nuts by dating someone totally wrong for you. Also, bad boys are usually better in bed, because they’re just in it for the ass, or so I’ve been told. (And this goes for guys who like bad girls, too.)

10. Exactly who do I have to fuck around here to get a loft in SoHo and a house in the Hamptons?

A few thoughts: Calvin Klein, Jann Wenner, David Geffen, Ross Bleckner.
