Today I'm joined by author, Bob Johnson.
Bob Johnson holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop.
He took an extended break from writing short stories to
follow several career paths, the most notable being an
English professorship at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana,
and Operations Manager at WSBT-TV in South Bend.
Upon retirement, he picked up his pen again and now writes
full-time. His stories have appeared in The Hudson Review,
The Common, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, The Barcelona Review, and
elsewhere. His short story “Bird Fever” won the Marguerite
McGlinn Award in Philadelphia Stories, and his story “The
Continental Divide” was named Short Story of the Year
in The Hudson Review.
Johnson lives and works in South Bend with his wife Cindy
and their dog Gracie Mae.

Stuff You Should Know
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.
