Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, This is Ruthie Rogers, host of our podcast Ruthie's
Table four, and I'm the founder of the River Cafe
in London. Season four of Ruthie's Table four. We'll return
on the twenty second of October. I'll be sitting down
with Elton John, David Furnish, Greta Gerwick and Noah Brumbach,
Kristen Scott, Thomas, Cienna Miller, Ian McKellen, Tony Blair and

(00:23):
many many more. If food is love, Elton John and
his husband David Furnish fell in love over food.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
He asked for my number that evening he said, we'll
we'll have a Chinese takeaway. I was, it sounds like
I love Chinese food. So I arrive at the house
and there's four giant cardboard boxes on the kitchen counter
and the table set for two, and I said, who
else is coming? And Elton didn't know what I like,

(00:54):
so he ordered the entire menu.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'd marry a man like that, I mean, I'd marry
you the minutes somebody did that. Tony Blair came to
the restaurant and went straight to the kitchen apron chef's
whites and stood next to the chef who was doing
the Rottolo di Spinacci.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
You actually make all.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
The pasta yourself, all the fresh pasta.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
So this is like one of the reasons why when
I was in gunment we did a lot on early
years education and school meals. Indeed, is because could you
not go to school and be hungry? And to give
them an appreciation of good food early and healthy food
is important.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I spoke to Greta Gerwick about the food of her
childhood and how it influenced the way she eats on
the set of her movies.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
I actually tend to revert to really juvenile food habits,
like I eat cheetos, Cheetos and diet coat in sort
of like astonishing quantities.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Our first episode will be my friend Guillermo del Toro,
who is in London directing his new movie Frankenstein.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
With Frankenstein, I wrote the opening fifteen pages and the
student said, how was he going so fantastic? Because I
started writing that movie the idea for more than twenty
years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
This is a podcast that is slightly influenced by having
spent fifteen minutes drinking tequila at eleven o'clock in the morning.
But we had a great time. This is what you
told me to get.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Well, let's right this three.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
These three are good.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
The first episode of Ruthie's Tape four is out on
twenty second of October on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever
you listen to your podcasts. See you there? Are you
going home?

Speaker 4 (02:39):

Speaker 2 (02:39):

Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, and so when will you be back?

Speaker 2 (02:44):

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Depend on the killer, Okay,
