Speaker 1 (00:01):
This day in Custory. July thirteenth, eighteen sixty three, several
days of rioting began in New York City as a
way to protest draft legislation during the Civil War. The
working class citizens of New York destroyed city property to
illustrate their anger over the implementation of the draft. The
disturbances quickly turned from being directed at policy to being

(00:23):
directed at blacks when the community became fearful that they
would have to compete for jobs with emancipated slaves. Mobs beat, tortured,
and in many instances killed a number of blacks, and
even burned down the Colored Orphan Asylum, which at the
time housed over two hundred black children and all. Two
thousand people were injured in the riots, and one hundred

(00:44):
and twenty were killed, eleven of them black men, by lynching.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
