'Check, Please! Bay Area' fans: show us your 'cheers' to win a FREE luxury dinner with host Leslie Sbrocco!

UPDATE: JUST EXTENDED THROUGH MAY 13!

Enter our #CheckPleaseContest selfie challenge to celebrate the 10th season of KQED 9's restaurant review show Check, Please! Bay Area — and you could win a luxurious fully-paid dinner with host Leslie at M.Y. China!

Always wanted to grab dinner (and a few drinks) with Check, Please! Bay Area host Leslie Sbrocco? Now is your chance... and if you win, it's all free.

All you've got to do is visit just one of the many restaurants featured on Check, Please! Bay Area, and snap a selfie of you (and perhaps your pals, too) imitating the famous "cheers!" with which Leslie and guests conclude every episode. Then upload the selfie to Twitter, Instagram or the Check, Please! Bay Area Facebook Page with hashtag #CheckPleaseContest!

The best part: the most entertaining, creative #CheckPleaseContest selfie, chosen by Leslie herself, will win its creator and a lucky friend a fully-paid dinner with wine in the company of our sparkling host at San Francisco's M. Y. China, the acclaimed restaurant home to James Beard Award-winning chef Martin Yan.

So, one more time...

1. Visit one of these Check, Please! Bay Area restaurants (you can see the full list here)
2. Raise your glass and snap your "cheers" selfie
3. Upload it to Instagram or Twitter or post it directly to the Check, Please! Bay Area Facebook Page — but however you do it, use the hashtag #CheckPleaseContest and the restaurant's name!

You've got until midnight on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 Wednesday, April 29, 2015 to upload your photo, so get out there and get "cheers"-ing, Check, Please! fans...
