It was the scene that any of us could picture
today in our mind's eye. Two groups of rivals set
against each other by grudges big and small, with a
bit of small town politics thrown in for good measure.
To call it a ticking time bomb would be an understatement.
On one side were the cowboys, a band of ranchers
turned criminals who had plagued the town for years. On

the other for lawmen, and their names are the ones
you'd recognize Virgil Morgan and Wyatt Earth alongside their good
friend Doc Holliday. The resulting shootout that day in Tombstone, Arizona,
known today as the Gunfight at the Ok Corral, only
lasted thirty seconds, but the market left on the popular

imagination has held on for nearly one hundred and fifty years.

wild West. This July Grimm and Mile Present turns its
gaze westward. Join us for a trek into the unknown,

from the early explorers and the indigenous peoples they encountered
to the gunslingers of legend and everything in between. This

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
