Wheel of Fortune's longtime host Pat Sajak and letter-turner turned letter-tapper Vanna White are in San Francisco this week filming some promos for the show's "Great American Cities" showcase. And they spoke to ABC 7 about where they want to eat while they're here.
White says Ayesha Curry and Michael Mina's restaurant International Smoke sounds like her kind of place. And Sajak says he loves Crustacean, the decades-old Vietnamese fusion spot on Polk Street famous for its garlic crab noodles. (It has a branch in Beverly Hills that he apparently frequents, too.)

When asked what he would do with a whole day in SF, Sajak says he'd "Eat and then eat some more and then possibly eat after that and then take a nap and eat some more."
The shows they're shooting here don't air until the spring, and it's unclear when the actual show shooting is taking place.
And it looks like Vanna got her wish. The show tweeted out this photo Thursday afternoon of what looks like a very hearty meal at International Smoke.
