Each week Bristol Business News gives a prominent member of the city’s business community the last word on its weekly e-bulletin. This week Tristan Hogg, co-founder and managing director of Pieminister, answers our 10 questions.
What was the LAST: 
Film you watched? Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Book you read? Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind by Graham Hancock
Music you bought/downloaded? Holiday Destination by Nadine Shah
Concert or play you went to? Youngblood Brass band at The Electric in Brixton
Sporting event you attended? Coombe Dingle – to play our production manager at tennis. It almost went to the death.
Holiday you went on? San Sebastian to eat, surf and limp along some of the Camino del Norte
Restaurant you ate in? La Vina – one of the many AMAZING pintxos places in San Sebastian. This one specialises in cheesecake, what a great way to round off a pintxos crawl!
Thing that annoyed you? Seeing two hard-boiled eggs for sale in Spar. They were in a black plastic tray which was shrink wrapped in plastic with a card sleeve over the top. What a ridiculously over-packaged world we live in!
Thing that made you laugh out loud? Potty training an 18 month old comes with lots of very funny moments….
Piece of good advice you were given? Use the past to predict the future!
