You need to construct a single string argument.
There are several options:

"\n" + name + ", what's your favorite food? "

Or, better IMHO, use string formatting:

"\n {}, what's your favorite food? ".format(name)

formatting has the advantage of allowing you to insert multiple values 
of different types and control spacing, justification and other aspects 
of appearance.
